> Programming with new languages comes with more compile time checking and linting, less chances to make simple stupid typo-like errors that take hours to debug.

Most of the "old languages" did not have this problem. This was a product of the 90s when people built a bunch of stuff really fast without stopping to think about whether what they were building was really a good idea.

So, it's a couple of decades later, but that part of the 90s spirit is still in full force today, but there are many many more programmers. The logical conclusion is that the garbage dump being built today is way worse than the garbage dump built in the past, and that should scare you if you think typo debugging was bad.
