Re:Code is Engineering; Types are Science by naasking on Monday April 06, 2020 @09:19AM (#22793446)
It's not so clear cut. Types are compositional, by definition.

Static analysis needn't be compositional, and so a small change could cause dramatic and unpredictable long-range effects elsewhere in your code. Figuring out what changed or what went wrong can be a nightmare.
