The flexibility it offers seems to help with rapid prototyping.
You can change part of your design easily without having to
wear yourself out convincing the compiler that you know what
you're doing.

Perhaps there is a middle ground. G++ has an extension called
a "signature", which can be used to describe a type in terms
of the methods it supports. This seems to be a lot like the
notion of type that Python programmers think about. Perhaps a 
static type system for Python 3000 could be based on
something like that?
