I might not say that the use of any language is a bad idea, but I'm definitely going to say that basing a language choice on a general and uncertain impression derived from my extremely limited, biased and anecdotal sampling as an end user is a terrible idea :-p ETA: The point of that anecdotal impression was not "This is definitely true" but "Given that this is my general experience it would be surprising if the actual trade offs experienced in practice were such that static typing was regularly a clear winner", which I feel much happier supporting on an impression than "You should do this".
