I have a decent amount of experience coding in big codebases using C#/Java - compiled, strongly typed languages - on the one hand, and Ruby/Javascript - interpreted, loosely typed - on the other. When I'm working in a big, unfamiliar codebase, I'm grateful for the help that the IDEs (Visual Studio/Intellij/Netbeans) can provide with refactoring, dead code detection. Would it be correct to say that because of the so called verbosity of Java, the IDEs are that much better at giving you instant feedback that you have broken something?
