Diminishing returns of static typing

Personally I'd only use a language like C or C++ or Java for a tiny puny baby child's toy program. They're fundamentally unfit for real-world codebases.

I'm probably being trolled, but I'll bite.

How big are the "real-world codebases" you're talking about, and how many programmers are working on the code? Once you hit 5-10 million lines of code and/or thousands of developers, static typing really helps manage complexity.

It's more that I get tired of this argument and decided to try to pre-emptively spoil it.
