This is a more recent one: http://games.greggman.com/game/dynamic-typing-static-typing/

There's actually very little real research that has been done that proves or disproves whether static or dynamic typing is better. Anecdotally, I've spent most of my career using statically typed languages. One day I looked up and saw that I had spent most of the day trying to satisfy a compiler rather than having a compiler satisfy me. I've never really looked back. I program almost entirely in dynamic languages these days. Otherwise, I use Java, Swift and Go only when I'm forced to.
