"most situations" don't apply to specific situations. I write code so the computer executes it most of the time, and the times I wonder what type something is is practically never. It's simply not an isse. The real hard bugs I encounter are always logic errors no compiler would catch.

I would love to have static types in JS, but not at the expense of node.. and not just so people who are in different situations than mine are happy, because I act as if I was in their situation.
