Your opinion here is common, and misguided.

[^1]: Literally nobody cares.

That's an insular opinion piece that doesn't sway, especially in the age of AI agents, it has not aged well. Its shallow rejection of Rich Hickey's nuance, is also unconvincing. It is a polemical justification for a coding philosophy that is incomplete and dishonest about the benefits of alternatives. Thanks for reminding me that no one cares; important to reinforce that.

That's quite the shallow dismissal, and the bit about AI agents is a particularly weird non sequitur — King's argument is about what type systems can and cannot express. AI agents don't change the relationship between static types and open-world data processing.

It sounds like you're annoyed that Hickey's position was effectively challenged.
