i didn't read the article, but i bet that this is just another
article
about his language of preference and how any other language he
tried
doesn't have X or Y or Z. and those X, Y and Z are something
like "not
being on market for long enough", "vendor ACME didn't ported
ACMElib to
it", "out staff is trained in G but not in M" and so on.
boring.
From the article:
"Most importantly, the kinds of bugs that people introduce most
often aren’t the kind of bugs that unit tests catch. With few
exceptions (such as parsers), unit tests are a waste of time."
Not my experience with unittests, repeated over decades and
with different languages. Unit tests are a huge win, even with
statically typed languages.
Well truth to be said, if you don't test, you don't know there is
a bug. Therefore there is no bug.
