The more modern solution is to break the large codebases into self contained microservices. In which case dynamic typing scales indefinitely.

I've worked on dynamically typed codebases for a long time. Passing the wrong type is very rare. I mean how would the code pass the unit tests if it was passing the wrong type?

How are the interfaces between these microservices defined? Without types? Lol

The interfaces do have types (and also proper versioning) but the internal code to the microservices does not.

Think about that for another second and see if you can spot the obvious huge flaw there.

I think you will be disappointed with the basic types: int, str, bool being used in one line per 1000 lines of code.
