Agreed. I avoid dynamic languages like the plague. I'll only touch them when I
have to or when I need a script which won't require recompilation to run (and
if D ever becomes widespread enough that you can reasonably rely on it being
on a Linux system, then all of my scripts will probably be written in D).
Dynamic typing is evil.
