]]> Comment on Is Strong Typing really needed? by Alexandru Craciun http://theshyam.com/2010/03/is-strong-typing-really-needed/#comment-470 Alexandru Craciun Sun, 18 Dec 2011 11:11:34 +0000 http://theshyam.com/?p=282#comment-470 I totally agree with the list of benefits having a strongly typed language, even with the drawbacks you listed. With these advantages in mind we developed Strongly-typed Javascript (http://st-js.sourceforge.net) an open source Java to Javascript generator (much simpler than the similar GWT). Fortunately, part of the drawbacks you listed should disappear in Java 8. And somehow related to the projects you’re involved, we were inspired by JsTestDriver to include a JUnit test runner that tests the generated Javascript by sending them to connected browsers and retrieving the results.

In C#, for example, you have closures, better generics and similar typing to javascript. Like in: taskRunner.execute(params, () => {response="Success"}); About the verbosity. Verbosity is GREAT. The type name is too long ? Probably a sign you should refactor using a collection type instead of a Dictionary<Tuple<A>, List<Tuple<A>>>. Those you listed are not disadvantages of strong typing.
