Static typing is a programming language feature where variable types are explicitly declared and checked at compile time, leading to early error detection and improved code reliability. It contrasts with dynamic typing, offering benefits like performance optimization and better tooling support due to known types during development.
Type migration refers to the process of changing the data type of a variable or data structure within a program to accommodate new requirements or optimize performance. This process is crucial in software development for ensuring compatibility, improving efficiency, and maintaining code quality as systems evolve.
A 'Partial Type' refers to a type system construct where only a subset of the full type information is specified, allowing for flexibility and gradual typing in programming languages. This concept is particularly useful in scenarios requiring type inference, code evolution, and interoperability between statically and dynamically typed languages.
