> JS isn't "untyped", it's dynamically typed

Yeah I mean of course it’s not untyped. What runtime doesn’t have types? C?

> Static typing is massively overvalued.

Have you every worked extensively with Java/IntelliJ or some other combo like C#/VS? It’s night and day compared to wading through the muck of an untyped codebase.

I can accept we might have different tastes, but whenever people say they advantage of static typing isn’t that great I assume they are either exceptionally gifted and don’t benefit much from a static language/compiler or are ignorant on the subject and don’t know better.
