Moving from static language to dynamic

Question

There are a lot of discussions all over the internet and on SO, i.e. here and here, about static vs dynamic languages.

I\'m not going to ask again about one vs anoth

Answer 1

I can't qualify myself fully under that handle but I did spend a while writing some an interesting Python mini-game after having spent many years writing Java. So, I might be mixing a little bit of moving from compiled to interpreted along with it.

I found myself using notation to mimic static typing. :)

However, I did find myself cranking code out at a slightly better clip. Having an interpreter is a godsend as far as learning new language/writing new code. The shorter the time between finishing a line of code and seeing it work, the faster you can write, and I think that is probably the best thing most dynamic and interpreted languages.

My code didn't look too different, all things considered. Though, Python has a lot of fun data structures. :)
