I can't possibly like any language where the type of a variable could change based on whether the condition in an if statement is true (because a variable gets assigned a completely different type depending no the branch of the if statement). I've never seen static typing as a burden. Rather, it's finding bugs in your program for you. - Jonathan M Davis
