However: having a type-strict language becomes it’s own advantage. Although remember this sort of thing slows down a program, it still makes things easier. As languages like PERL prove, such information is not intrinsically important to the programmer, that is if you have functions that accept ANYTHING and do the conversions within themselves. Many programs - think PERL - are designed to do away with as much pre-knowledge as possible and just allow you to write code without remember supplementary details like “what type is this variable”?Īll “types” are is a little piece of information that travels with a variable that dictates how it should be used. VB and REAL/Xojo are RAD tools so why not make it easier?īut, as you program longer, you start understanding what “types” are and how they help you in programming. I know where you are coming from, I used VB for a long time and enjoying the “type coercion” where you could pass a number and it would be converted into a string automatically. This seems a larger irritant - just my opinion.
