m A type system: no need to cite the obvious
Line 51:
Proponents of [[Type system|static typing]] claim that it is beneficial to compiler optimization, reducing programming errors and increasing maintainability, especially in large software projects.
 
On the other hand, [[Type system|dynamic typing]] reduces input source code size,{{Fact|date=June 2007}} which is the bottleneck on smaller projects. It is helpful when writing quick [[scripting programming language|script]]s, [[one-liner program|one-liners]] or "one-off" code (i.e., code that is written to achieve some temporary purpose and will be run once).
 
Perl 6 offers a hybrid typing system whereby the programmer may choose to use Static Typing, Dynamic Typing or mix the two.
