Ask HN: How can I get informed in the static vs. dynamic typing debate?

Hacker News Ask2026-11-06 18:130 views

Static typing has converted a bunch of people I know who started their careers with Ruby's dynamic typing. Nowadays they see static typing as an important guardrail for agent programming.

Clojure programmers are also into agentic programming. I wouldn't have thought it possible but I encounter Clojure people who are even _more_ into agentic programming. Yet Clojureconf is still full of what seem like good points against static typing.

I'd really like to understand this. Where do I start?
