"Fact is, if you can't trust your language because of its type system, you develop tools to build that trust around your particular application of the language. If that is 'too much work for you' .. then by all means, avoid the work by reinventing the wheel."
But aren't those tools (that can build trust) something that could be built-in & available to all users of the language, therefore avoiding "reinventing the wheel"? Why would you want to do by hand something that can be automated?
