Abstract
The typing of programming languages tend to fall into the categories of static vs dynamic typing. What are the benefits of a type system - do we need them? Are the static type checkers only getting in your way - or saving your self from shooting your self in the foot. Are dynamic typing the road to meta-programming and productivity nirvana - or a slippery slope leading to unmaintainable code bases. In this panel Stuart Halloway (Clojure), David Nolen (Clojure), Don Syme (F#/ML) and John Hughes (Haskell) will discuss the benefits of different type systems.
