What about all the time you'll waste debugging your app because you can't make good assumptions about the structure of your data?

Isn't that the same argument some use against dynamic typing in programming languages?

One reason Moose rocks for Perl is it gives you the ability to get some stronger type checking in the dynamically typed language.

So yes, I think dynamic typing can lead to debugging nightmares. It just so happens that often the fact that other factors make up for this in many cases.....
