== "Good" principles ==
It sounds a bit iffy to say that it's designed with "good" software engineering principles. This sounds like it's claiming that compiled, static-typed languages are always better than interpreted, dynamic-typed languages. -[[User:Qeny|Qeny]] ([[User talk:Qeny|talk]]) 00:40, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 
Nothing (other than their inescapable humanity) prevents a computer programmer from employing good software engineering principles without the help of a strong static type system. However, for those of us that would rather have help, these guys have 'designed' the language with good 'software engineering principles' in mind. I do not think the word 'good' is strong enough to imply exclusion anyhow. Good does not mean better.
