Unit testing isn't enough. You need static typing too.(evanfarrer.blogspot.com)

I really like the mix we have at work with Python. We type all methods, but no typing in the body unless the code is unclear. We treat it more like if it were a statically typed language with type inference. This gives the IDE loads of info to work with for refactoring and warnings. The reality of dynamic typing is more like an implementation detail.
