I find I can hack on things faster with static typing. I'm inevitably picking up new libraries, and using a new library is much easier when it's inputs and outputs are clear. I can see how dynamic would help if you're writing most things yourself, but static definitely has a huge return when interfacing with anything someone else wrote.
totally agree. That's why I think libraries and other mature code should use static typing, whereas I like to use dynamic typing for code that I am prototyping. This is why I love Typescript, you can have both :)
