So when the Query is sent to the database MySQL actually receives a Query object and then parses that Query object? ...oh wait, right before it is sent to mysql it is turned back into a string again. My point is that static typing doesn't h

Are we really talking about type checking or the larger circle of validation (of which type checking is just a small part)? ( Bugs found by unit tests ( ) Bugs found by input validation ) Or in other words... String s = "lastname'

I don't really feel this... I guess this might be a horrible thing to say but "I don't really care". It costs 100k to get a tld. So if Amazon takes .author then what about .writer? Or what about biographer, columnist, composer, creator, ess

This is the fundamental problem with a static point system. Up/Down votes should be personal and entirely void from the process of agree/disagree. It should be about pushing individuals closer or farther away from your perspective. I'd like

Meh, I think you are over-inflating the benefits of a debugger. Everything you described can be achieved through proper testing. Want to know if something is efficient? Then build a test to gauge it. That way if it changes and becomes less
