By complicated I guess I mean "lots of types". Static typing makes up for its cost once I can't keep all the types in my head at the same time. Point number 2 excludes pretty much all network-connected software, and that's intentional. I suppose single-player games are ok to write in C or C++. |

Not caring about local privilege escalation I see ;). Attack surface might be lower, but from lockscreens to terminals there is a lot of stuff out there that doesn't need to be connected to the internet itself before I find it quite relevant to consider whether it was written in a dumb language.
