Interesting theory, let's see how it plays out in the marketplace. If typed languages are indeed more productive we should see them start to win out in, say NPM, right? Today the overwhelming majority of NPM modules are JavaScript, but if the same modules can be written more productively in TypeScript or Dart or another typed alternative, you should start to see those modules win out. Fewer bugs, more able to concentrate on features.
