Correct me if I'm mistaken, but the avionics software would probably be written in C or Assembler.

Neither of those have SloppyDevTypeCheckComfortBlankie either, do they?

I cannot tell you how much I love SloppyDevTypeCheckComfortBlankie, how much time/money it has saved my company (converting all our JavaScript to TypeScript), and how funny it is that some people take pride in writing code that isn't typed.
