    ...I'm so happy that I write in untyped languages so I don't have to deal with any of this.

      You absolutely do have to deal with this in your untyped language otherwise you're just letting edge cases and runtime errors happen. The syntax will be different, it will have to happen at runtime instead of compile time, the chosen wording and language to represent the concepts and the work may even vary, but you are not exempt.
