You can add static type checking to a dynamically-typed language by implementing gradual typing, which introduces type annotations and runtime checks to bridge static and dynamic paradigms. This approach supports migrating large codebases by defining static and dynamic type boundaries.

Gradual typing is a hybrid type system that bridges static and dynamic typing by defining types that encompass static, dynamic, and unknown values. It ensures type consistency according to gradual typing principles while allowing parts of the codebase to remain untyped.

To manage runtime casts and type mismatch errors during migration to static types, you implement gradual typing systems that handle type conversions and report mismatches effectively. This ensures safe interactions between statically and dynamically typed code boundaries.

Yes, you can use a type-checker-generator dependency to build hybrid type systems. It serves as the foundational tool for implementing type checking with gradual guarantees, ensuring consistency when adding static checks to dynamic languages.

The best way to migrate a large codebase to a statically-typed system is through gradual typing, which allows you to incrementally introduce type annotations and checks. This approach avoids a full rewrite by supporting hybrid type systems during the transition.

You should not use gradual typing for dynamic languages if your project cannot tolerate the overhead of runtime casts and type mismatch error handling. This approach is designed for hybrid type systems and migration scenarios, not for purely dynamic execution without static checks.
