It's definitely not that the developers are inexperienced with types. You're sort of making a "white man's burden" argument. Very few web developers are just writing javascript at work.

It's simply that you can't paint over a weakly typed language with strong types without causing all kinds of crazy edge cases. They're fundamentally different paradigms.

Are you asserting all developers are good with typing and its derivatives?
