Debugging can be extremely hard when there are multiple complex frameworks/libraries doing magic stuff, plus extensions by the current team.

In practice this is all very convenient when you're writing the code, but not so much when you have a production issue.

I'm not actually averse to a programming environment where the only ground truth is the running image. I love that kind of environment! In my editor, where worst case I dump some state when I restart, and I can just not play such dangerous games when on call or there otherwise exists a risk of winning such stupid prizes. Production has rules. Or it had better.

That said, if you want me to go back to dynamic typing, there's a fee. The grass really is a lot greener over here.
