This is what makes current LLM debate very much like the strong typing debate about 15-20 years ago.
"We as a group need to figure out the right blend of strong static and weak dynamic typing."
One can look around and see where that old discussion brought us. In my opinion, nowhere, things are same as they were.
So, where will LLM-assisted coding bring us? By rhyming it with the static types, I see no other variants than "nowhere."
As a former “types are overrated” person, Typescript was my conversion moment.
For small projects, I don’t think it makes a huge difference.
But for large projects, I’d guess that most die-hard dynamic people who have tried typescript have now seen the light and find lots of benefits to static typing.
