My experience was that I would have an idea for a new model and change my code. Later on I would find that new model would be flawed, but only after fixing compiler type errors in many different places when all I really needed to find was that one error that showed my model was flawed. I should add that it’s heartening Pike actually acknowledges this in the interview, regarding limited typing and how it helps playfulness in languages like Python and Ruby.
