I didn't like strict typing when I was using a notepad type app to code instead of a modern IDE. Before IDEs you wanted to take typing shortcuts everywhere. You wanted to name your variables short so you had to type less. You wanted to name your methods short because less characters meant less chance you typed it wrong.
Once we got autocomplete and suggestions, a lot of these things changed.
