Every time I try out a dynamic language, I miss static types. I just love them so much for refactoring and the ability to more fully describe how components should interact with one another.

Then when I factor in the incredible performance and efficiency of a language like Rust, thinking about all the extremely difficult performance problems I’ve had to diagnose in even fast JIT languages like C# or modern JavaScript runtimes, I just can’t stomach the idea of choosing a language like that if I have another choice.

So maybe Lisp would be a revelation, but I just can’t bring myself to care.
