You are missing the point abbot dynamic typing - it SAVES programmer time
because you don't have to declare a variable before using it. As for it
allowing errors to fall through - PIFFLE! Any such errors will be trapped
during unit testing. You DO test you code, I presume? Or are you one of
these jokers who assumes that if it compiled OK then it doesn't need
testing?
