> find out that not having types causes lots of problems

Yeah, it's hard to find a decent team, so we work with less experienced guys who need a lot of safeguards like static types ;)

Ruby solves this problem: you do not need big teams, so you are more comfortable finding better developers. Ruby allows to reduce team 5x.
