If you're not a good programmer, I would suggest that you find a technical cofounder and concentrate on whatever your skills are in. If you have no other skills, I would suggest you go learn some and come back in a few years.

But, since you asked, I have been programming professionally much longer than most HN users have been alive, and based on that experience, I have concluded that, all else being equal, languages with sophisticated static typing are superior to dynamically typed languages. Note the word "sophisticated": that specifically excludes, e.g., Java, which there's no good reason to start a new project in in 2021 anyway.
