Most arguments of this type focus on the end result and not on the process of writing a program. Static typing and (in many cases) writing tests before code work well if you have a well-defined idea of what you're trying to create. They don't work as well in a situation that's very experimental or very iterative. In the real world, static and dynamic typing both have their place. Different problems have different tool requirements. There is no One True Language and there never will be. For most of the things I do, I can make do with four.
