The question was asked why I (as a programmer who prefers dynamic languages) don't consider static types "worth it". Here is a short list of what I would need from a type system for it to be truely useful to me:

1. Full type inference. I would really prefer to be able to write:

(defn concat-names [person]
  (assoc person :full-name (str (:first-name person)
                                (:second-name person))))

Process Notes

Why choose Vue?

• First, why choose a framework at all? This app is super tiny and not very complex, but it’s just complex enough (and, also, I can imagine it fitting into a larger ecosystem one day) so building it within the structure of a framework makes it easier to manage and maintain
• Vue a light framework, and this is a tiny app. Good to be able to choose which pieces you need vs having to load an entire framework
• It’s well maintained, has good performance, and seems intuitive
• Seems kinda irresponsible to bring another Angular app into this world

Beginning Steps:

• Reading a lot of documentation

pandora’s vox: on community in cyberspace
