They happen completely unexpectedly, such as when I read this tweet: https://twitter.com/whileydave/status/536422407297171457 David is the author of the lesser-known but not at all lesser-interesting Whiley programming language, a language that has a lot of static type checking built in it. One of the most interesting features of the...

| | I am very excited about Flow, a new JavaScript type checker from Facebook. I have put some thought into what a type checker for JavaScript should do - and in my opinion Facebook gets it right. The designers of Flow took great effort to make it work well with JavaScript idioms, and with off-the-shelf JavaScript code. The key features that make that possible are type inference and path-sensitive analysis. I think that Flow has the potential to enable sweeping improvements to the code quality of countless web apps and Node apps. ...

Will there be a conservative, slow and annoying compiler? Or maybe a fast feedback loop, often resulting in crashes at runtime? And also, is the language runtime trusting you know what you are doing, even if you don't? Or maybe it's babysitting you, making it hard to write fast, low-level code? Believe it or not, I just described static, dynamic, weak and strong typing.
