honestly, if this is going to be about static vs dynamic typing in general, i'm going to peace out because this argument has been rehashed about a million times. and we seem to be talking past each other anyway

i just wanted to make a point about how checking types at runtime doesn't mesh well with generics and functions, so it's always going to be limited on that axis. and perhaps there's a dynamically typed nirvana where you just handle that differently, but it's a problem i personally had
