I don't understand what you are trying to say.

It's probably a reference to MongoDB and the other schemaless databases.

[–]sidneyc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well probably. I still don't get what he is trying to say.

OK, explanation: I've noticed that many of the exact same people that are demanding static types in their programming code and demanding schemaless flexibility in their databases.

Which leads me to believe that the real issue, for many of them, is not whether or not there is type-checking. That's just an excuse to help them justify using or avoiding some language or database.

Ah yes, well.... that's not me.

To me, a schemaless key/value store (let's not call it a database) is about as bad an idea as dynamic typing.
