The wonderful thing about dynamic typing is it lets you express anything that is computable. And type systems don't — type systems are typically decidable, and they restrict you to a subset. People who favor static type systems say it's fine, it's good enough; all the interesting programs you want to write will work as types. But that's ridiculous — once you have a type system, you don't even know what interesting programs are there.

Factories today are being run less and less by the authority of experience only, and more and more by the authority of figures and facts. The superintendent and manager of long experience and intuitive knowledge only is forced to make room for the younger man, of less experience, perhaps, but who modernizes his work by the jurisdiction of figures alone.
