There's a trend amongst dynamic languages to slowly add type hints (see Mypy for Python, Typescript, etc) so I see these issues becoming less important over time.

I've been using Python on a daily basis for close to a decade now, I can probably count on my hand how many times a bug has been because of casting a string to an int.
