Is it that you people, whoever you are, really do have tons of

weren't for strong typing, you'd either never debug your code, or
would take a lifetime to do it?

Yes.

Personally, I have written hundreds of thousands of lines of code in
untyped languages, and can't remember the last time I had a problem.

I hear eating fish is good for your brain.
