In something like C# or Java with a good ide I imagine it's not too bad.

Interpreted languages like Python and JavaScript do suffer when code bases reach a certain size.

Even adding half-baked, not compile/runtime checked types such as "Python's Type annotations", "Python's Type Stubs", "Javascript @type-infused-jsdocs" and "Javascript with Typescript Declaration Files" manages to make those modern IDEs a lot smarter for things like checking if you're doing really obvious bad things until you go really ham into metaprogramming.
