You should try F#. It infers all the types so you get the benefits of type checking without the noise

F# really is a great language. I wish it was used more.

My trouble with this approach is that my brain is not very good at type inference, so I don't really understand what's going on just by reading the code. IDEs can help, but it's still a hassle (esp. in contexts where you don't have IDE - github PRs etc.)
