RPC, RMI, CORBA, EJB, SOAP: looks like distributed systems with static typing are less successful in the long run

@mittie @stilkov I’d rather argue that these are examples of systems ignoring the very nature of distribution, i.e. the network.

@hseeberger Which is part of the observation @mittie made ;-) Static typing is not made to work over the network.

@stilkov @mittie I’d say that static typing is for compilation and has nothing to do with local/distributed runtimes.

@hseeberger @mittie That’s exactly the point: It’s intended for compilation, which is why it typically fails when parts are not linked.

@stilkov @mittie Whether two processes communicate successfully over the network has nothing to do with the choice of the type system.
