The core mechanism of gradual typing is the "type boundary": developers can annotate types in key modules and obtain compile-time checking while retaining dynamic behavior in unannotated regions; the type checker interacts with dynamic code through top types such as `any` or `unknown`.

UnverifiedTypeScript's type narrowing allows the compiler to obtain more precise type information in specific code branches through conditional checks.79% similarUnverifiedGradual typing is a type system design that allows dynamic typing and static type checking to be mixed within the same codebase.78% similarUnverifiedType safety originates from the field of programming languages, referring to a program's ability at compile time or runtime to guarantee that a variable's value always conforms to its declared type, thereby catching type mismatch errors early.77% similarUnverifiedGradual typing brings problems such as type holes (e.g., `any` escaping) and incomplete checking, which need to be constrained through engineering conventions.76% similarUnverifiedType hints do not change the runtime behavior of a program, but when used with static type checking tools such as mypy, they can catch type errors before the code runs.76% similar
