One mans gold is another mans trash :) Static typing seems to be a neat addition for lots of people, that's great! Doesn't mean it's a silver bullet that improves development for everyone, and that's OK.
I still don't see how a language (GJS) with an already existing ecosystem of writing Gnome apps, lots of examples, API references and more is worse for writing Gnome apps than Swift, that seems to have been launched just some days ago?
Edit: I realize now that the "Adwaita for Swift" this blogpost is about isn't even an official Swift project, is the output of a student interested in Swift and Gnome.
