Dynamically typed languages don’t scale. Large project bases become hard to maintain, read and refactor.

Basic type errors which should be found in compilation become runtime errors or unexpected behavior.

Not really a hot take. Why do you think most dynamic languages have the option to tack on static typing?

Depends on the community. In Lisp communities, for example, it's very much a hot take. Which is a shame, because I'd love a statically typed Lisp-like language.

We can feel it in our bones... And boy is it a pain when you find a huge codebase that is JS only or python without types. Fucking hell dealing with that shit
