Abstract
Do types stop bugs? Existing research is inconclusive, and limited to object-oriented programming. I identify several categories of possible errors in functional programming, and detail whether a static type system can help. I propose a detailed future study to determine the optimal level of static typing annotations in functional programming languages for best software maintainability.
