I'm not going to downvote the comment, but I think the "statically typed" argument is fantastically overrated. I spent years of my life coding in Java and C# and other years of my life writing Clojure, Python, Ruby, and Elixir code. I've never once thought to myself of the latter, "Damn! This would be so much better if I could have static types." It has literally never, not once, ever been an issue for me.
