hi community,
clojure is dynamically typed, so i thought here i might find some good
reasons for that. what can you do if you sacrifice compile time type
safety?
an advantage i see is very, very concise code since you have no type
annotations at all. the downside is that exactly this code might be
unreadable - because you just have no idea what it uses and what it
does without tests or documentation.
another advantage are macros or macro-like constructs at compile time,
for example:
"resultset.columnname"
here, "columnname" could be translated to
"resultset.getObject("columnname")".
you could even go a step further and use the column names as local
variables.
again, conciseness to the max.
what else is there? is it worth sacrificing type safety? and is there
no way to combine both?
