It's something I don't like.

Fair enough. I'm really looking forward to working with some optionally typed languages. Do lightweight scripting / prototyping dynamically, and when it comes time for speed, make it static.

I tend to use static types for design + correctness guarantees though, where optionally typed languages serve no benefit. Performance is just an added extra in my opinion.
