Yes, we should all use rigid types. Name me one language you actually like writing quickly with that has types?
Pyth-oh. Bash-oh. Lisp-oh. Perl-oh. Oh yeah... typed languages suck because of all the boiler
Edit: Fine, Python / Lisp / Perl are all technically "typed" languages, but I ask you what's point of throwing type errors at runtime. Javascript and Rust actually have it right here that the code is either going to run, or it simply isn't. No pussyfooting letting it run first to throw complaints
Haskell.
Never got into Haskell, but I was taught Miranda at school and thought it was pretty cool
