I'm going to throw this idea out there: companies can succeed independent of type checking.

That's really going out on the limb though...

But you're right. Moreover I noticed obsession with a particular language is often a hallmark of a junior engineer or a recent grad. This this idea of "If you don't use Go/Node.js/etc you'll totally fail".
