I don't disagree; for example, I don't think I'd like writing statically-typed shell scripts very much. That said, the question was "what do you like about statically-typed languages?", not "why are static types always unilaterallu superior?"

Here’s my basic issue: Python, Ruby and JS are often picked at the beginning of a project’s life, but the first time there needs to be a major refactor, there is a HUGE amount of uncertainty due to the lack of type checking.

Bash is great so long as it’s essentially a list of tasks, and not much more complexity that if statements to disable one part or enable something else.

To me the question is this: are you building something to last (ie it needs to be hardened and have the code paths verified) or are you building something that’s throwaway? Many think they’re building something that’s throwaway, and then a billion $ company is built around crap.
