The part of this argument I don't really understand is that it seems like the cost of bad programmers is higher, not lower, with a "simple" language where it's _normal_ to have type-unsafe code and mutable state everywhe

For almost all jobs at SpaceX, only permanent residency (i.e., a green card) is required, because that's what ITAR and EAR require. But, yes, of course companies have no choice but to exclude non-citizens from jobs that require a secur
