In fairness....in some statically typed languages like Go, working with JSON isn't a ton of fun either, if you need things like optional fields.

Well, that’s not a limitation of statically typed languages, but a limitation of go.

Just like Generics.

Java, for example, does support Optional types similar to Haskell’s Maybe.

Haskell in supports them, too
