People who are annoyed by types have never had to spend weeks of their life hunting for a missing property on an object.

Compilation errors are so much more preferable than finding out the same error at runtime.

Ada has got your back. Entire classes of runtime bugs in C code are eliminated by compiler errors.

You can't even make a integer overflow unless you've explicitly declared that statement as unsafe.
