Oh, so what you're describing is strong typing. I thought it was a unique feature of Ocaml. But in reality, any strong-typed language will have this as well.
And yeah, Typescript merely "suggests" typing, and it will allow you to build the project even if you ignore the type errors. A build system refusing to, well, build, if there are typing errors usually takes care of this, but again, the dev team may as well not implement this.
Any examples other than ocaml? From my understanding, ocaml's type strength may only be found in a couple other languages. Haskell, scala, and maybe Rust. Any others?
I thought of Pascal, Java and C#, but pretty much any language listed here as "explicit / nominal / static" makes the cut:
