But the question is why "must" it ship fast? That seems to be a poor, irrational agreement we've made as a tech society for no better reason except because people are impatient.
There is a (perhaps wrong) belief that being first to market greatly increases your chances of success if not outright dominance in an area.
People are unconcerned with the possibility that if successful they will be left with a mess to clean up and a system that is hard to evolve. They believe those are easy problems to fix.
But it's mostly staticly typed already anyway.
