No but they help. You can find figures of a 15%-38% reduction in bugs for TypeScript versus JavaScript. So that does not consider the additional effect of strong versus weak typing.
- Cpoll 7y agoI'm in agreement with you about Typescript, but JS has other deficiencies that contribute to typing issues. Anecdotally, I'm frequently enough bitten by type issues in JavaScript, but I can't recall very many in Python. Certainly not 15-38%, perhaps 1%. Which furthers my point (for my set of circumstances): I find the majority of my bugs when I'm writing tests.
