I agree. Thank you for writing this. I realized recently that I actually do like static typing, as long as the cost is low. (I really like TypeScript) Sorry,

I agree. Thank you for writing this. I realized recently that I actually do like static typing, as long as the cost is low. (I really like TypeScript) Sorry, I don't want to reason about the "shape" of my application state vector before I've written it... but that's what Swift's static type checking forces me to do... Design my app and it's data model at the same time. Call me a lazy software hippie I guess.
