This goes in the right direction. It could go further though. Types are indeed nice. So, why use a language why using those is optional? There are many reasons but many of those have to do with people and their needs/wants rather than tool requirements. AI agents benefit from good tool feedback, so maybe switch to languages and frameworks that provide plenty of that and quickly. Switching used to be expensive. Because you had to do a lot of the work manually. That's no longer true. We can make LLMs do all of the tedious stuff.
Including using more rigidly typed languages, making sure things are covered with tests, using code analysis tools to spot anti patterns and addressing all the warnings, etc. That was always a good idea but we now have even less excuses to skip all that.
