Power of static typing, that it allows one to develop complex programs faster and better, not slower.

  I think the develop faster thing is a poor argument for static typing. The refactoring piece of the equation is the most important to me. Static types provide confidence (and speed) while making sweeping changes to code.

    That's what I meant by developing faster. Refactoring is an indispensable part of the building process.

      Yeah totally agree that refactoring is part of development but I don’t think people frequently think about in comparison to maintenance.
