Hot reloading and static types

I read this thread from last year and got curious about the mentioned black-boxing “fix” for hot reloading with static types. How feasible is it? I read that a statically typed version of Erlang was abandoned years ago due to speed and complexity concerns.

Edit: Another thread mentions other obstacles including backwards compatibility to statically typed Elixir. I also came across Elchemy, which doesn’t seem production ready. Thoughts appreciated!
