[Ilugc] Python and Ruby Frameworks vs Statically typed languages

I don't get it - are you saying that you write unit tests in Java to
handle its' type errors/dynamicity? Then it's certainly news to me - in
all the agile books and articles I read, I've never seen this reason
before.
afaik, unit tests are written not just for typing errors but for a
whole lot of reasons. it is just that the need for such tests
increases by quite a bit when the language is dynamically typed, coz
many of the type related bugs are not caught at compile time. my point
is that, under the hypothetical (note :) ) situation where the only
need for unit tests are possible type errors, java is dynamically
typed enough to need them.
it moves on...
