Suffice to say, that on that specific project we had weeks without
any working build, that had to be saved with hard code free rules
until it got green again.

This type of projects is what made me change my mind about static vs
dynamic.

Static languages with automatic type inference, and some type of
dynamic dispatch like D's variant type/opDispatch, fullfil most
use cases a dynamic language is good for, without sacrificing tooling
or large scale development.
