HN discussion"...static typing becomes a big convenience in enforcing coherency across all the systems. You can guarantee that your dataflow is more or less going to work, and focus on the functional aspects...But as we move into a light-weight Service Oriented Architecture model, static typing becomes a genuine productivity boon."
