It doesn't amaze me at all. Before tooling was very poor with no autocomplete so using a typed language meant you had to type maybe 20% more (and cluttering the code) on top of having to add everything to a struct in exchange for catching runtime type errors. Now with type inference and intelligent autocomplete, these features add back efficiency to the point of making them as fast, if not faster to develop non-enterprise sized programs.
