In my experience weakly typed languages are a trade-off, where you get something to run at all sooner but to run correctly only later. It all depends on the sort of product you're making whether that's worth it. When you're building something long-lived, there is no benefit to using a weakly typed language. Yes, initial coding takes less time, but since 70% of your cost is maintenance, it is dwarfed by the time spent debugging.
