Seems less useful in languages with strong static type systems?

It requires a language with dependent types, like Idris.

I don't think it does require dependent types, actually. Can't it be implemented as a monad? (possibly https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Tainted)

It exists in Perl. So I figure it can be implemented in any language.

Probably! But I think monads might make it more useful and ergonomic.
