How is dynamic typinf faster? Is typing num = 1 instead of int num = 1 really that much faster?

Plus, most statically typed languages either do type inference by default or let you opt in somehow.

Even Java, which is probably the reason everyone hated static typing for the first decade of the century or so, now has var.
