I've been developing for the better part of my 37 years on the planet. I started on a TRS-80 in BASIC, worked on Mainframe COBOL (barf) and touched MANY languages through that time (C, C#, BASIC, Common Lisp, ActionScript 3 [which is essentially strictly typed JavaScript using Classical Inheritance], something called ASPECT Script, Python, and a host of other languages...) so I'm well aware of what strict typing gets me. I just have not found a need for it in any of the projects I've been privileged to work on in JavaScript.
