people who think dynamic typed languages are easier are not thinking for one second about the lack of safety in this. like, the most common error in javascript is you feed a function some symbol, and it isn't the right type. the IDE can't identify the error so you can type it away freely without knowing you are making an error.

in Go, it will tell you "this symbol is not the correct type".

type matters. just like punctuation. and it saves you from having to put the fucking type name in the fucking variable and function names.

and don't get me started on the byzantine labyrinth of object type hierarchies.
