Ok. Those languages do static typing incorrectly. Try a language that sports type inference. It isn't redundant. There isn't boilerplate. The type system is far more powerful than in Java or C# (polymorphic types, polymorphic variant types, algebraic types and constructors, functors, etc).

You owe it to yourself to learn these systems. In many cases, there are type-side symptoms of logic-side bugs. If Haskell's laziness and purity scare you, try OCaml -- it's fast and straightforward.
