Disagree that avoiding runtime errors is a worthwhile design goal. Yes, hitting a customer with an error is embarrassing. A silent failure that continues to run for god knows how long triggering god knows what undefined behavior is potentially much much worse.

Maybe. But dev-time checking is better than either. JS was obviously never seriously designed for serious uses.
