I assume you mean the static typing that Swift has, in favor of something like Python or Ruby, where the type of thing in a variable is both implicit and unfixed. Saying that there should be no types at all is...well, maybe it's just a failure of my imagination, but I don't even know how you could write a program. Even assembler has types.
