Hm. My experience with Python for server use tells me that the 
problem with dynamic languages isn't the primarily the main 
execution paths, but the exceptional ones. Having to update a 
server because a request erroneously fails due to a logging 
statement (or typos in asserts or any other kind of debugging 
statement) is annoying.

Upon further reflection I think it is important to require 
logging to be a fail-safe transparent operation (conceptually 
close to an annotation).

I don't think monitoring statements should be able to cause 
runtime errors at all.
