Any type safe language will help you prevent a wide range of bugs that non safe languages need tons of tests to detect.

We're talking about memory safety here, though.

Same argument though, just a different value for the topic.

Agreed. The C++ guys are basically JavaScript guys arguing that type safety errors are a skill issue. They must hate TyoeScript.
