Diminishing returns of static typing

Yes, there are diminishing returns. But people who are frustrated with Go&#x27;s type system aren&#x27;t just blindly pushing for more precise types. They have experience with generics and have decided that the cost&#x2F;benefit is worth it.<p>Also, the optional static type systems for languages like Python and Javascript are more precise than Go&#x27;s. So when you actually decide to apply types to your code, you get more checking than you could ever get in Go.
