Watch a 30-minute conference talk from GOTO Copenhagen 2024 where Malcolm Sparks, Founder/CTO at JUXT, explores the enduring value of dynamic programming in complex data domains. Dive into the ongoing debate between static and dynamic typing, with a particular focus on Financial Services applications and challenger bank case studies. Learn about implementing schema as code through a layered, iterative approach that reduces boilerplate and enhances team coordination. Explore architectural insights combining dynamic programming with immutability for scalable system development. Follow Sparks' personal journey from Java TDD advocate to Clojure consultancy founder and creator of XTDB, a dynamic bitemporal SQL database. Through detailed examples and practical demonstrations, discover how dynamic typing remains relevant and powerful in modern software development, particularly when handling complex, evolving data domains.
