For long there has been debate about #StaticTyping vs #DynamicTyping in #programming. Frequently claims are made that static typing reduces bugs. Purely anecdotally I have not personally found that to be significantly true, and static typing can make coding slower with less flexibility (then again I am a #Tcl guy, and also prefer pure #Javascript to #TypeScript).
Here is a great read that analyses various studies made on the topic: https://danluu.com/empirical-pl/
