  • Re. 3 & 5: my theory is that a language with gradual typing, gradual error handling enforcement, and "gradual proving" that is seamlessly embedded in it (see e.g. the attempt in NimDoctor) could hopefully actually work here. And as to dynamic typing, I found it useful when prototyping to quickly PoC/MVP the "happy path" of an idea/design, and see if it is worth investing any bigger effort, or just completely crap. Ideally I'd then (gradually) enable (or, "un-disable") statical typing, error handling enforcement, and formal proving.

    Re. 6: for API design, I have some (feeble) hopes behind https://aip.dev; as to the rest, I have immense hopes behind https://enso.org
