"Another part of the appeal of dynamic languages appears to be that they have acquired an aura of subversion. Dynamic languages fight against the tyranny of static languages, hooray for us! We’re the heroic blackguards defending freedom from the tyranny of typing! We’re real programmers, we don’t need no stinking type system!"

I don't know anyone who prefers dynamic languages who actually thinks this way. I program in both statically- and dynamically-typed languages, and I prefer dynamically-typed languages because it's less code I have to write.

Have you tried real statically typed languages, like ML or Haskell? They're really concise. Sometimes even more so than Python or Ruby.
