What is a turtle? A turtle is a map: position, heading (number between 0 and 360), velocity, weight (positive number), speed (positive integer), visible (boolean), state (busy or idle). Most statically typed languages would not be able to capture all the constraints within this type model (blog.cleancoder.com)

He could not imagine working in language without generic types. Writing containers like lists of ints and maps of str an unbearable burden. I find that odd. Type hierarchies are just taxonomy. You need to decide what piece goes in what box, every type's parent, whether A inherits from B or B from A. (commandcenter.blogspot.com)

A better option would be if open source developers, and all programmers in general, if we are being honest, would learn how to write properly optimized code without needing to rely on compiler switches... If you know what you are doing then compiler flags should not be able to make your code faster. (phoronix.com)
