Personally I think Strong Static typing is what's required. But with an option to do dynamic typing to avoid faff in certain parts. Strong typing on its own doesn't really solve the problem that the author is describing. c# pretty much has that nailed. You can do dynamic typing if you want, but you're on your own if it fucks up. Moreover its obvious when you're doing dynamic silliness. Python is strongly typed, the problem is that its also duck typed and everything is dynamic. Sure there is type hinting, but that's mostly optional and pretty much broken as its not really supported at run time. (unless I've missed something) What I'd really like is something like perl's "use strict;" in python. however I don't see that coming anytime soon.
