Static types mean some languages benefit from IDEs more than others. Code completion is not very meaningful without types unless you use some machine learning magic.
The nice thing about Typescript is that it was basically designed as an IDE language. It has just enough typing to make the IDE useful and let's you ignore the typing well enough when you need to. It isn't a safe language, just toolable.
