You "free speech" proponents must be physically exterminated. No mercy to you subhuman scum!

Another one failing to comprehend that different languages have different application domains. Sad.

Not directly my area, but still, the most eye opening textbook I ever read: https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Thermal_Physics.html?...

The study is related - it shows an attitude to self esteem, while you're apparently trying to compare the self esteem itself.

Americans are conditioned from the early childhood to value their "self esteem". The others do not even care.

In a static type system, all of the expressions and expression-like constructs of your language may have a constraint attached to them, which guarantees that a value this expressio…

I provided you with a proof. Cannot you follow such a trivial logic? Let me repeat it again, slowly: 1) Dynamic typing is a subset of static typing. With static typing you can do e…

Anecdotes are case studies . In social sciences, for example, it's often the only thing you have. Do not dismiss this kind of evidence when you do not have any other options.

Empirical evidence is nearly impossible in this area. On the other hand, we have a solid theory , not some "beliefs". If you want to dismiss the entire PL theory, you have to try r…

This is exactly the fallacy that dynamic proponents are constantly running into. Do not help them by reinforcing such claims. Static typing bears important semantics far beyond a m…

Do not forget that this very "self esteem" thingy is almost exclusively American. The other nations do not even think in such terms.

Given a huge skill gap and inability to factor out methodology differences, I cannot see how such a study can be done at all. Anecdotes are the best we have. Far better than a pseu…

Compile time reflection have absolutely nothing to do with dynamic typing.
