Yeah I suppose my bigger beef is I just don't like dynamic languages. Perhaps it is in fact a good idea for them, but being someone primarily interested in types, it largely falls into the realm of "don't care."

Huh? Both Maybe / Optional and pattern matching is used in Haskell, Scala, and other typed languages... It's not about dynamic languages...
If you’ll notice my other comments in this thread, I think you’ll see I vastly prefer statically typed functional languages over dynamic ones. I was more commenting that I like monads and functors and Maybe and Either/Result but don't like dynamic languages.
