A comment on Why node js is so much faster??. Parent comment
npm install works millions of times (If not tens of millions of times) daily. If there was a 30% failure rate, it Weeknd be way more apparent.
Obligatory left-pad mention too. Forgive me for not taking the bait. Which brings us back to type safety.
I agree type safety eliminates a certain class of errors, but here's two things to keep in mind:
1. Are type errors the most prevalent type of errors that "bring disaster"?
2. Is it possible to build great systems without type safety?
