I have learned, from experience[†], that strongly and statically typed languages, and in general languages with rich type systems almost always result in fewer common bugs, and higher quality code.
I strongly believe statically typed language are objectively superior to dynamically typed ones. Many might say that this is my subjective opinion or just a matter of personal preference, but I absolutely disagree.

- cageface 10y agoI would much, much rather use a modern, statically typed language than a dynamic language. This includes languages like Swift, Scala, Kotlin etc and specifically excludes Java. I wouldn't even consider dealing with a big JS codebase without either Flow or Typescript now.
