It feels faster to develop with static type checking because you can be more confident about what's going on. It's like driving on the highway, you burn more gas but can go much faster because your path is secured in advance.

Also IDE can assist you all the time. JS always feels like driving an off-road rally car without an assistant driving sitting on the seat next to you.

JS is awesome for small scripts that ease your daily activities but I wouldn't let my million dollar investment depend on it.
