The problem with this comparison is that readable syntax is a subjective notion, whereas type system is an objective thing that can be evaluated based on its strictly defined boundaries - it's either possible or impossible to encode all required software specification with a provided type system, and if something is not possible, we know exactly what are these things that don't fit into the type system, and therefore we cannot rely on the compiler to prove their correctness.
