So, what is solution?
Writing everything in Python :-)
Isn't the problem that many type-safe languages at the end use e.g. GTK bindings for the library written in unsafe language like C?
Or, do you suggest writing everything in e.g. C++?
Having, at least, application code written in safe-language, could reduce maintenance cost a bit?
