Typescript and Python managed to pull it off. With a result that in many ways allows both expressing stricter, yet more fluid typing, compared to languages traditionally considered static. The false sense of security they give is not a problem. As with testing, this is not a black or white answer, having more is better than having nothing. You could also argue they are more strict by allowing more richer types like unions and structural typing, letting you strictify things that you in C# or Java would have solved with non type safe Dictionary<String,Object>, instanceof(), overloads galore or layers upon layers of AbstractFactories.
