I think this is part of the problem. Adopting "strong mode" will make lots of modern code obsolete. At least there are sane alternatives though, but it would also require setting empty properties on classes and undermine duck-typi

This is dead on arrival: Some examples of strong mode changes we are aiming for are: accessing missing properties throws, arrays cannot have holes, all scoping errors are static, classes are immutable. Specifically, "a

There are a lot of comments here about the adversarial nature of a such a question, and they're completely correct: Asking this question is an assertion of dominance. They're also not wrong that assertions of dominance tend to bac

This is hilarious. Sadly, this employee probably got a promotion internally for being absurdly fantastic at his job. It sounds like a South Park episode, "Ohhhh, that's too baaaaaaaaaahhhhd."

Most definitely not. Human processes are always inferior to software enforcement. Code reviews are heavily dependent upon leadership, training, and quality control factors likes comprehensibility[1], mood, problem domain familiarity, etc...
