It's not a dichotomy at all. Type systems etc are obviously there to make it easier, faster and safer to build and maintain your code. I'm much more productive in Swift than I ever was in objc.

The one case where it might make sense to through CS out of the window is if you're building something very small that you are sure you will never reuse or even look at again. And even then I'm not sure it is faster to be sloppy.
