Sure, instead of answering my questions or points try to dismiss me as not having experience. As a matter of fact, I have developed applications in Python, C++, Java, Javascript, GWT, Javascript, and Coffeescript, for myself, at small companies, and at Google. I don't think you can simply dismiss me as having limited experience unless you've got more extensive experience shipping apps written in both dynamic and static languages. Now, I'm not saying that dynamic typing is better: there are tradeoffs to either approach. But I am saying that your original post gives an overly simplistic appraisal. The pros and cons of static and dynamic typing and much more complicated then that.
