A mistake in what sense? What are the risks that you see with using these languages for large scale systems, and how do those risks balance around all the other risks that come with not using one of these languages and using a different one?

You can go look at everything they've done, and everything Typescript has done, and all the gradual typing initiatives. I left plenty of threads to pull there.
