      When you are used to dynamic languages (I cut my teeth on Python) and then come to a statically typed language, it is hard to not feel like the compiler is some angry robot that has it out for you and makes you do silly rituals to evade beatings.

      But when you get used to it---and, in particular, if you pursue types into the world of functional programming and the Curry-Howard correspondence---then types become your #1 tool of choice and the compiler becomes like a best friend who clarifies your thoughts when fuzzy.

      That's only true until you find that all the things you want to write can't be typed because the type system is too stupid, unless you're using dependent types in which case the proof requirements are too hard, and the result is too rigid. And then you miss syntactic abstraction.

          It is true that types can't always enforce everything you want to enforce in practice, but it can always do *something* to help, and that something often already makes a big difference :) so I think even in those situations, the point is still true.

          In some cases, types are great. In other cases, they help you some, then keep you in a small house you can't exit. Comfortable, but atrophying your mind.

          As usual, life is more complicated than (good) memes suggest. However I haven't walked the full path you describe, in that I haven't given up on proofs, largely because I'm still stuck chaffing at F#'s type system most of the time and only loving on Idris in my spare time.

          I find that Haskell's type system (with a few extensions) is powerful enough to type almost all of the ideas that I have that end up being good ideas.
