>Have you written significant sized code base with dynamic languages (at least > 50K LOC)? If so how do you manage quickly and effortlessly finding errors like bad typo, passing around bad types etc?
Have you written 50K LOC C/C++? How do you manage finding errors like buffer overflows, use after free, and so on? And did the program have the same functionality as 50K Python, or had 1/10th the features?
(Also: you can run a linter and find typos, and you can have tests and know about bad types. And that's assuming those are actual errors people have and matter in the first place...)
