Seeing type errors logged is only "good" if they are catching actual bugs. A large amount of Scala type errors aren't bugs I would have had in Python; they're hoops I wouldn't have needed to jump through like worrying about whether a parameter should be a "Long" or an "Int".

Actually, those are the type errors I _like_ having (and don't always have: Scala will implicitly convert `Int` to `Long`), although I concede this is a matter of opinion. However, I am definitely less impressed by the unhelpful type errors one gets when implicits somehow fail...
