I can second the experience. I write a lot of Common Lisp, and these days it's typed Common Lisp for me. It adds very little overhead in terms of code writing speed, but continuously stops me from making stupid mistakes (like e.g. forgetting a function I'm calling returns a sequence and treating it as a scalar value). My comfort of writing is much better, because I spend less time in interactive debugger hunting my own typos.
