You might - might - be able to create those same bugs in Haskell. But you'd probably have to deliberately try. (They might be impossible even if you deliberately try to create them.)

You might indeed, but you'd have to go out of your way. Whereas with Python I write those bugs as easily as I breathe. Maybe I'm just a bad programmer; static types are definitely good for those like me. If that's not a practical, non-ivory tower reason to prefer Haskell, I don't know what is!

Yeah. My memory's not good enough to not use static types.
