not necessarily a response to your comment, but i think you underestimate just how much the static/dynamic preference rests on fundamental psychology.

for example, generally speaking i only use basic data structures (lists or hash tables), so introducing types would be over-engineering (note, i'm familiar with e.g. Haskell's type system). for me the idea of typing implies a programming style complicated enough to require it. it's only at a larger architectural scale that i think typing pays off

that said, C# is still my favorite production language.
