That is what people think but if we look at data from projects and companies actually other things are way more important then the language they use ;)
I’m definitely not trying to understate the importance of other code quality measures, but this study appears to say typescript would have caught at least 15% bugs on average. That’s huge.

Here is one study for example but please feel free to look into more!

A software production, in general, has a time limit and if you are not working on a hobby project you are hoping for a good ROI.
Having 115% more money in the bank after one month or having 180% more in the bank ;)
I would go with 180% since it has a way bigger ROI :)
Thats just my point :)
Doesn’t this oversimplify things? Saving dev costs doesn’t matter a ton if your app is buggy and unusable.
The bank example was more of a metaphor.
ROI in this means less bugged code in less time :)
We invest less to get more out :)
