Don't get me wrong but I really don't understand the benefit of not having a static type checking(php, js, python etc) in a programming language. It always produces some problems and stupid bugs. And then tools like typescript start to pop up. Why you didn't have a static type checking in the first place? I don't think the reason can not be having to write type of the variable. You gotta have explicit type checking in a language so that devoloper knows what he/she's doing.
