This sound like a wild and very contrived argument.
Both because that memory leaks are normal is types languages - and does usually not matter in most serious applications - and because this class of errors is usually not what types catch.
Types have value when you 1) refactor and 2) have multiple people working on a code base.
The error you see when you don't have types is something like a BadArityError.
