No it means that statically typed languages are good for everyone. They aren't "training wheels" that you'd want to remove at any point.

A lot of misguided programmers think they don't write bugs and they don't need any help from autocomplete or linting or whatever. It's not just inexperienced programmers! A lot of experienced ones mistakenly think that they don't write bugs and therefore don't need to use anything that helps them detect bugs. How very dare you suggest that I might make a typo?!

I guess it is just hubris.

Weird that you’re talking in English without injecting a bunch of literal “noun” “adjective” “adverb” in your sentences. I mean why not really commit to it, ya know? Are programming languages for the human or the computer anyways? Typescript is definitely popular right now. So is McDonalds.

Of course for many advanced things you are forced to use types. Like shader languages. But thats not because the advancement there is in the domain of programming languages.

And your boos mean nothing. I’ve seen what makes you cheer.

English is not a programming language. And anyway English does have a load of extra stuff to indicate the "types" of things. For example proper nouns are capitalised, plurals get different quantifiers, adverbs get a "ly" suffix.

I think Latin is even more of a "typed" language.

But anyway that is really irrelevant because it's not programming.

Well, no because static typing is ancient.
