You and OP are both right, because it really depends on what you're doing.

At the scale I operate, it would be corporate suicide to try and write this code in straight JavaScript without type support. But for smaller teams, more focused teams, and teams that use a heavy testing discipline or enforced naming conventions that supplement the lack of static typing, it's not a problem.
