> staunch static typing proponents are often middle or junior engineeers

While we're sharing anecdotal data, I've experienced the opposite.

The older, more experienced fellows love static types and the new ones barely understand what they're missing in javascript and python.

python, js, ruby, clojure, erlang etc are created by senior engineers who are fully aware that haskell etc exists, so have you considered that people you claim are "senior" aren't senior enough?
