Can you either give some additional details on the code patterns you’re talking about, or link to some ‘typical’ examples? I do appreciate the flexibility of being able to just write code and not particularly be overly sensitive to jumping through typing hoops, but I can’t think of any place I’ve actually used algorithms or specific code patterns that rely on untyped-ness to actually work at run time. I’d be very interested in trying to work through what is actually required to consider these code patterns as well-typed.
