“Types slow you down” is the _stupidest_ excuse I hear all the time.

As if developers of untyped languages don’t spend ungodly amounts of time pretending types don’t exist, but needing to manually check them everywhere, wonder why shit blows up at runtime, litter their code with “typeof” style checks, litter their tests with type checking.

The types exist and need to be considered whether you believe it or not. Might as well let the computer help you out.

Or you know, pretend you’re toooooo cool for it.
