I've always been on the fence with respect to dynamic versus static typing. In some cases, static typing is nice but the majority of my issues don't rise from such cases where data passed in don't match the type of a function or class. I've noticed this quite a bit in my toy projects with Racket and Common Lisp. I think static typing might have its uses in places where you want to ensure the numeric values are within a range but one can argue that the compiler or runtime system should be competent enough to make arbitrarily large numbers acceptable even if they're rare in execution. But for all others, I think one can ignore types unless the former situation affects your work.
