I feel honour-bound to point out that citing static typing (explicit
static typing, in particular) as a means of creating more correct
programs, to be one of the greatest contemporary myths of software
engineering.

Static typing makes it easier for compilers to produce more efficient
code. That is the only advantage that static typing offers. 

I am of the opinion that (explicit) static typing contributes to the
bugginess of programs.
