You can still have a language that feels dynamic but is
statically typed. The compiler catches type-related bugs for
you, and you can prototype something very fast. Then you can
add type annotations (if you want). I wouldn't say this
language is 'untyped'.
One such language is Julia.
Another is Haskell, a language with very strong typing.
