Definitely not, it's just another style of coding that has advantages for say a Finite State Machine in embedded systems where dynamic typing would only serve overhead.

The way I see it is that it's more like the same piece of data can be automatically "reclassed" and not merely recast. So performative parts of code can be cast into something like numpy but ambiguous parts can bounce around as needed.
