Title: An Empirical Investigation of the Effects of Type Systems and Code Completion on API Usability
using TypeScript and JavaScript in MS Visual Studio
Authors: Lars Fischer, Stefan Hanenberg
Paper: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5VfKG1fVepaTG41MlNTdWRQSDg/view
One line summary: The paper looks at TypeScript and JavaScript in relation to code completion tooling. The outcome of the paper is that typing has a much bigger impact than code completion on API usability.
I will flesh this out a bit more with a full summary of highlights when I have some more time.
