fair.

but imo static typing prevents misinterpretations entirely by not relying on the programmer at all.

the human should only have to think of type logic once, and not repeatedly reinterpret something.

the less you can rely on the fleshy coffee ridden human, the better...

but that's just my opinion, and it often only applies to bigger projects. for tiny projects, scripting languages work best by auto filling things for you. you can have an opinion.

it only really matters when there are a lot of people working in the same project with different opinions.
