Excellent point. I've also found that situation (though admittedly to a lesser extent) in languages that are dynamically typed. My first experience with Python rapidly turned sour when I discovered that I was going to have to use guess and check to figure out what types of parameters some functions in a standard file-handling library expected. The less discipline the compiler demands of the programmer, the more discipline the programmer should demand of himself.
