This static vs dynamic types stuff pops up in HN every two weeks with the same old arguments. After the twentieth time I decided that the people who argue about that just work on different types of projects and that's okay. Just remember, not everyone works in a monoproject with a million loc and not everyone does micro services where often you have the code in a few files following established conventions. Trying to force patterns in situations where they are suboptimal shows that some people value form much more than function and could be safely ignored.
