Statically typed languages are in fact so much better nowadays that the industry should drop all dynamic / scripting languages for application development That will sadly probably never happen given the momentum they’ve built so the only choice is to retroactively add static typing and begin enforcing it in individual projects. When starting a new project, I would suggest nobody choose a dynamically typed language. Between Swift, Kotlin, C#, Go, Rust, etc… there’s no need for anything else. As long as front end web is around you might need TypeScript - and as long as ML is Python centric you might benefit from using a bit of it. But I wouldn’t make them the primary language.
