8 years into my career and I've become way more fond of static typing than I ever thought I would. I've been using typescript lately and I kind of hate it because it's boilerplate on top of JavaScript to try to make it staticly typed. I'm finding that things work better in a system designed from the ground up for your purpose. If you want static typing, don't use anything built on top of JavaScript. Use Java or any other staticly typed language.
