I agree with this comment of yours but the first one has a few overstatements and that prompted my reply.
Also if you feel that strong types slow you down I suggest you try some gradually typed language where you can start out without types, do the exploring and add the types when you know what you want. I've tried this in TypeScript and it was a fairly good experience.
