Depending on the language and the static type system, they typically can't prevent errors related to:
- Logic errors
- Null or Undefined values (prevented in many newer languages)
- Out-of-bounds errors
- Concurrency-related issues
- Arithmetic errors (undefined operations, integer overflow, etc)
- Resource management errors
- I/O errors
- External system failures
- Unhandled exceptions (e.g., RuntimeException in Java)
If you use a language like Rust, you can get help from the type system on several of these points, but ultimately there's a limit to what type systems can do before becoming too complex.
