| Dec 16, 2018 at 23:01 | comment | added | BlueWizard | Why is this closed as duplicate? It's the better QA page (with tremendously better answers) than the here linked "duplicate". I think the closing as duplicate shall be turned around: thus redirecting people from the old but "meh" QA page to this better QA page even tho when common duplicate-flagging rules dictate otherwise | |
| Apr 23, 2016 at 11:12 | comment | added | Kartick Vaddadi | Does this comparison account for the fact that a large codebase tends to be become larger when written in a statically typed language. In other words, comparing a 1 million line codebase in Java vs Ruby is a biased comparison, since the Ruby probably does a lot more. The correct comparison would perhaps be a 1 million line Ruby codebase vs a 5 million line Java codebase. Is the Java codebase still more maintainable? I suppose not. | |

| Nov 27, 2014 at 8:08 | comment | added | yazz.com | @Jus12 - Yes, that is a good point. It probably makes sense to make the question more specific, as Scala is so different to Java for example, with Java being so verbose | |
| Nov 26, 2014 at 11:43 | comment | added | Jus12 | @Zubair Static does not mean boiler plate code. Have you checked out Scala? You experimented with Clojure; thats why your view is biased. | |
| Nov 26, 2014 at 9:30 | comment | added | yazz.com | There is alot of bias here as static languages have so much boiler plate that they invariably end up large. I have first hand experience of this: stackoverflow.com/questions/5232654/java-to-clojure-rewrite | |
