> Well, Typed Clojure is a thing!

I think we (the Clojure community) quickly figured out we don't really want static typing, which is a bit evident by the low uptake of Typed Clojure.

Personally I found it to A) make it a hassle for downstream consumers since your design is suddenly impacting others, because you can "lock things down" and B) have that very same effect on your own codebase, where it becomes a lot less flexible where it needs to be flexible.

Nowadays, I just use another language if I want static types, which happens sometimes but not nearly as often to say that dynamically typed languages are "dead" or whatever.
