Yes, type checking works very well with AI since typing provides a step of verification. The more precise the type system is, and the more guarantees you can have. At some extreme, you can entirely specify the program with types. So if the program type checks, it is guaranteed to implement its spec and you can trust the AI. I assume the AI will have a hard time to write the code though. But I had very good results in Rust, less in Haskell. I think it's also because the Rust compiler gives more meaningful error messages, which helps the AI to iterate.
