When it compiles I know it's not broken. It might not be doing what I want it to be doing... but I know its not broken. This is just such a freeing feeling compared to dynamic languages. Totally sold / hooked.

Freeing indeed. I know all my code is checked at least once (due to the compiler). In JavaScript you'd have to write a test to make sure that the code can at least run (no misspelled variables etc).
