Although I&#x27;m a huge statically-typed language fan, I suspect it would not.  I don&#x27;t think the language is really the problem here.  I think it&#x27;s more that the environment is young.  It will take time for the higher quality plugins to supplant the lower quality ones.<p>You can see the same thing with Node modules.  The quality of the main modules that people use has gone up over the last 2 years or so, IMHO.  This is not because the modules have gotten better, but rather that people have switched to the better modules over time.<p>This year I wrote a lot of coffeescript code.  I really like it.  I don&#x27;t think it is harder to write good code in it than any other language.  I think the main problem is that it is more accessible than some other languages and so attracts relatively novice programmers.<p>Having said that, TypeScript has been on my TODO list of languages to try for ages and I haven&#x27;t actually written any code in it.  I&#x27;m mostly saying that I don&#x27;t expect strong typing to magically fix the problems with poor plugins.  People will just find different ways to make mistakes ;-)
