But you don't need to have a final design straight from the beginning. You can start with only what you need right now and evolve the types/schema over time.

In fact, proponents of static typing would argue that the types make your code easier to refactor later, because you will be aware of all the usages, and able to move things around with confidence.

The drawback is that you need to make the entire codebase correct (or commented out) every time, not just some isolated piece you're experimenting on.
