One of the points the author makes, is that static typing improves code maintainability and refactoring. I've used both static and dynamic languages. When I was younger I preferred dynamic typed because they were easier to start with and code, but now that I've grown more experienced and dealt with highly complex projects, I prefer static typed. Being able to debug, maintain, and refactor code is much easier and less risky in static typed languages.
