Yep, when I hear people say things like "I like $dynamic_language because I don't have to think about what types I'm supposed to put when I write my functions" or similar, I'm just thinking "how the hell can you write a function without knowing what types you want to receive and return?". I do love the "productivity benefits" of having to read entire function bodies to reverse-engineer what types I'm supposed to pass, because the docstring just used vague terms like "file" or "user"
