Hard evidence is hard to obtain for something as varied and unrigorous as software.

After 25 years of working on all kinds of codebases I’ll take even badly engineered statically typed code over dynamic any day of the week including Sunday.

I wouldn't.

Badly designed software with terrible class structure (FooModel, FooSchema, FooSpec, FooSchemaSpec, FooSchemaSingle, FooSpecContainer with inexplicable relations between them) is way worse than a well designed non-explicitly-typed software.

I don't know, I've worked on a C++ project where most of the Ids/Index 'types' are done with typedef/using int :-(

So in theory the language is statically typed but in practice case a large part of the project is 'integer typed' ..
