that might have been true in the 2000s, but it doesn't apply to modern languages with things like generics, ADTs, type inference, null safety, etc.

you know what really slows me down? trying to use a function in a dynamic language, and having no god damned clue what type of arguments it accepts, and having to figure it out by grepping through the code or dynamically instrumenting a running program.
