How many times, while using a dynamically typed language, do you ever 
change the type of a variable? I've written a fair amount of PHP, and I 
rarely, if ever want my string to suddenly become an integer (if I do it 
generally needs validation/conversion anyway). When using my own and 
others code I frequently see type checks/conversions etc, it just makes 
the code ugly - with a staticly typed system you remove this overhead.

Also, there's the auto keyword, and easily accessible function templates.
