> Most bugs are logic errors.

Are they? IME most bugs are type errors.

Or rather, IME most bugs are logic errors only because I've excluded the possibility of type errors by using a sophisticated type system.



Most of my bugs are logic errors. I write Java. Your comment seems to imply that moving to Rust or Haskell would make a correct program if it compiles.


I don't think porting your program to Haskell would make your program correct.

I think porting your program to Haskell would make all of your bugs logic errors, rather than only most of them.
