      My point was that without a type system you need an impossible 100% code coverage, to be sure that you didn’t accidentally mess up some variable assignment or parameter somewhere, since you have nothings to easily and automatically catch those errors.

          I think we are actually saying the same thing though…? Tests should really only ensure functionality. It should be the language’s job to help you with obvious implementation errors (such as using a wrong value type).
