"Dynamically typed languages for large code bases are terrible."
Perhaps this is what you believe based on your experience or opinions on internet.
However large code bases, complex systems, have been used successfully, for example for:
- Driving the Deep Space 1 (DS1) NASA spacecraft for 3 days without manual input.
- Search for airline ticket reservations encompassing almost all the airports in the world and most airline companies, not to mention all the diverse routes available. Really complex stuff. (ITA software, currently in use across the globe)
These big, complex applications were written in a dynamically typed language.
