What do people here like better: typed or untyped functional languages? (lemmy.ca)

My first language was Racket and so naturally I gravitated to the lispy untyped functional programming style even when I was using languages like Python or Java, but when I tried Haskell for the first time my mind was absolutely blown and I was a convert ever since. What are your thoughts?

On a side note, the book "Functional Programming in C#" has good sideline explanations for what one is missing out on by using a type system that was designed for OO instead of FP.
