The presentation was interesting, but if there were any studies cited I didn't see them. I'm looking for deductive research into the proposal that using a modern statically-typed language results in a better outcome than a modern dynamically-typed one.

The related research I mentioned is useful because if development in a given language improves correctness but also increases development time by an order of magnitude it might still be more effective to develop software in the "worse" language and spend the additional available time mitigating the risk or building additional features.
