This is what I mean by enforcement though. It is going to be hard to enforce for that government assisted organization. They either allow everyone who wants to set the header to do it, in which case they need to spend a lot on policing, or

Just gave it a look. Dynamically typed. IMO if scalability is on the table, having types is a huge benefit. It saddens me that ruby, python, elixir, JS... many of the best and most productive backend frameworks have types as an afterthought
