    Are you the person who’s writing these APIs that just return dynamically generated untyped JSON that I need to deal with on my team at work? Typing absolutely matters and I will die on this hill

      How can my JSON response have any concept of Type? If I return a number and you treat it is a string, my API doesn’t have any concept of that. Now in the actual spec of the API I could say that specific URI will return an int, but it’s up to your side to classify the array of bits as an int instead of a str.
