Does autboxing count as dynamic typing?

[froomzer]

Kopilman, you should try JRuby

[Roombor]

The existence of null is a flaw from a static typing perspective though, since it introduces runtime type errors whose absence cannot be proved at compile time

[Kopilman]

froomzer, meh , ill just use ruby :p

[Roombor]

Does JRuby have a compiler yeT?

[froomzer]

I dont know. I think ruby will get one eventually, I think they are just pigbacking off of ruby

[Roombor]

jomanda, I think ML solves the null problem in a satisfactory way using variant types. As for me, I just prefer dynamic typing

[jomanda]

What's ML?

[froomzer]

Jruby that is

[Kopilman]

Modern lisp?
