Have to add that we work exclusively in strongly-typed languages. Kinda want to see how it plays out, but I can't help but argue with him, so I think I'll just go.

I recently tried out Python. I had no idea it still doesn't have runtime enforced typing...
I didn't realize that PHP was decades ahead of it.
Python 3.x will never have static typing because that would break backwards compatibility.
However, typing hints have been Integrated into Python for a while, and you are heavily recommended to use them, so your IDE can enforce typing.
Also have the option of selectively/strictly enforcing in CI, to get an experience & protections similar to "compile-time type checking"
