In Elm you use static types to think of Javascript objects as static, anonymous records instead of dynamic dictionaries. There's a different type for that second use case with no syntax (just `get`). Theoretically this could enable a lot of optimization for Elm, but at the moment I don't think the compiler takes advantage of this. It's the same thing that Google's Closure compiler does.
