    This debate ended a long time ago. Every language is moving toward stronger, static typing, especially JavaScript with TypeScript, but even Python.

    I don’t know of any good arguments against strong, static typing. What do you think are some?

    It seems to me that debate ended - at least in a professional capacity - with the advent of LLMs. Writing code, especially when it comes to tedious boilerplate like types, has been so abstracted away from me nowadays going back to it feels like doing maths without a calculator... or maybe even the old-fashioned human calculators.

      Strong typing is not boilerplate-heavy in all languages (ex: TypeScript)
