Same here. So far, it just doesn't seem worth the loss of knowing at
a glance what is and what might not be verified at compile-time. If I
wanted to be throwing compile-time guarantees out the window, I'd go
use PHP.
Being able to do it doesn't mean you have to use it always. You don't
loose anything if you don't use it =)
Correction: You don't lose anything if *nobody you interact with* uses
it. A feature that is wide open to abuse is dangerous, even if you'll
never abuse it yourself.
The feature has to be worth using.
On the other hand, using the feature requires some due diligence. It
doesn't strike me as a dangerous feature that's also the path of last
resistance, like casts.
