The API must use a static type of system.
Description
Discussion Text
By enforcing strict type checks at compile time, a static type of system ensures that data passed between functions or components is validated against predefined types, reducing the likelihood of unexpected behavior or exploitation. This helps prevent common issues such as SQL injection, buffer overflows, and type-related vulnerabilities, as developers must explicitly define and validate the expected data types. It also improves code clarity, maintainability, and reliability, making it easier to identify and fix security flaws before deployment.
