Loose typing makes you really fast at writing code, as long as you can keep all the details in your head. Python is great for smaller stuff. But crossed some threshold, the lack of a mechanism that has your back starts slowing you down.

Sure, my language of choice is more flexible than that: I can type

   put "test abc999 this" into x
   add 1 to char 4 to 6 of word 2 of x
   put x -- puts "test abc1000 this"

But I'm still curious -- what's the better language?
