I do like dynamic typed languages, but mostly for prototyping, 
scripting and tiny scale projects.

The type of code that we get to write at enterprise level, static 
typing is very valuable, specially given how management tends to 
enforce "write code not tests" and the skillset of certain 
developers across regions.

Code bases being worked on with 30+ developers across multiple 
sites get fragile very easily.
