    Anyone who thinks a strong type system is a drawback has never worked on any real project where you actually have to collaborate with others.

      I started out with Visual Basic using the Variant type all the time, and even though I was usually just working on one-person projects it was a fucking disaster. You don’t even have to collaborate to see the virtues of strong typing.
