If using dynamic typing like Python's is being drunk, then at least Go is like being tipsy - not quite sober, but quite functioning.

  Only if you make a habit of using reflection (you shouldn't). Otherwise it's designated driver all the way.

    > Only if you make a habit of using reflection Or type switches. Or nearly anything involving interface{}.

  Tipsy is probably the most dangerous mode. People feel like they can probably still drive when they're just tipsy.

    No. Drunk driving is much worse. (Yes, people do that -- I mean they actually understand that they are "drunk" and not just "tipsy"... and unfortunately still drive :/.)

      Ah, yeah, I wouldn't want to claim that tipsy driving is worse than flat out drunk driving. I only wanted to suggest that there's higher net risk when it's less dangerous but is perceived to be not dangerous at all.
