> Why write in a statically-typed language when dynamically-typed languages have adapted the best bits and pieces from statically-typed languages?
Unfortunately, dynamically-typed languages haven't adapted the best bit from statically-typed languages: that all types are enforced at compile-time!
Yep, that's the parallel I was going for.
Functional languages give you the same output for the same input, and almost-functional languages ... probably give you the same output for the same input?
