Only once you've measured how buggy the software is, and how much maintenance costs over the full lifecycle.

I have no such problems. Think/hack/try first, code later - this is my advice to you.

Pen and paper are my debugging tools, not a type system.

I can do that, and I've used languages and hardware where it was the only option. But I'm much faster and more effective with a type system.
