neither did you. in fact, you italicized probably the least objective portion, that of staically typed languages being more readable. and that's likely to be the opposite case for most people. the draw for most dymaically typed languages is that they are often quite readable.

sometimes people prefer different stuff, and that's all the commenter was saying. i myself like both.

That's ridiculous. I most intentionally italicizes it -- precisely because readability and comprehensabitltiy is the biggest benefit of static typing.

When I was younger (a teenager), I valued static typing for the safety it brought. After working at a few companies, I now value it more for readability & comprehensability, than anything else.
