I spent many years with dynamically typed languages and minimal editor integration. Test driven development worked well. I regularly braved big refactors.
But having a strong static type system with good dev tools in the editor does appear to help me refactor more efficiently. Now I look for such tooling.
Has tooling gotten good enough to win me over to static typing? Am I getting old and I need a crutch?
The static vs dynamic typing debate is taking place in my own head.
