It is a problem of language. Or more specifically, of dynamically typed languages (DTL) vs/ statically typed ones (STL). We know for a fact now that DTL's simply don't scale to large code bases. And before dozens of people tell me there are a lot of large apps written in DTL, this doesn't mean it was a good idea in the first place nor that these large apps are easy to maintain and improve (they're not and they would be much easier to maintain and improve with type annotations).

We don't know that. This is not a fact.

There are simply too many large projects done in dynamic language to show that it's probably a good idea for them.

Or they eventually come up with a hybrid micro services.
