I still think there is value in using languages that eliminate entire classes of bugs though, for example using a language that has automatic memory management is a no-brainer except for certain specific domains where you need to do memory management yourself. Likewise with static typing: it eliminates type bugs. There have definitely been times for me recently when working with a dynamic language like JavaScript and there's been a bug in our code base that would not have happened had we been using TypeScript. Some of these bugs also had significant business impacts.

There is of course a trade off, typed languages can be more challenging to develop with: I've had a number of fights with the Scala compiler. Typically it's libraries rather than the base language, but it still costs time I wouldn't have spent if using a dynamic language. Also, the Scala compiler itself is very slow, to the point where the XKCD comic about "code's compiling" has been true. On modern Macbook Pros, this shouldn't be a thing anymore, but it still is :)
