In my experience, doing this kind of task in an weak-typed or duck-typed language is already tedious. Function signatures don't tell me enough detail to know exactly what I'm working with, so I end up spending a lot of time digging through documentation or print debugging. Why not let the compiler, or the function signatures do this work for you?
