When it comes to refactoring, there are so many automated, guaranteed safe refactors you can do with statically typed language that you can’t do with dynamic language.

I can’t understand why developers would want to take a tool out of their tool belt like static checking.

I’m a fan of Python as a low overhead scripting language but for large systems with multiple developers, static type checking is a godsend.
