DSLs are an entirely different subject. I personally think they're a solution looking for a problem most of the time. They can be useful, but not usually. If you like those, look at Ruby. You can do the same trick in python, with __add__. Rational(2) + Rational(3). Same for any operator...

That's just a way to go around the limitations of static types. Why? It's a perfectly good attitude as long as you DO optimise stuff that ends up being slow. Optimising things just for the sake of being meticulous is wasting time. 2. Screw it up as in make it the optimisations not effective. It...

You're confusing type safety with pattern matching. I know they can be related, but that's not the point. Look at Erlang :P I really haven't noticed problems while using IDEs, so it mustn't be that hard. Again look at lisps, particularly PLT Scheme. While there may be some while building IDEs...

1. Type safety only catches some errors, even in Scala. You still have to do testing, and lots of it. You will catch all the errors your compiler would throw by running your unit tests. It's usually even faster. 2. I don't get this one. You get way less data about stuff by parsing it than by...

CADIE was much better.
