I'm the opposite. New applications are the ones you refactor the most, and refactoring is an order of magnitude easier/faster when the code is statically typed.

I'm the opposite. New applications are the ones you refactor the most, and refactoring is an order of magnitude easier/faster when the code is statically typed. Refactoring any dynamically typed application (regardless of size) is a manual operation, and error prone. But then again I rarely deal with type errors, when I do it's the compiler looking out for my often 'application ending' mistakes.
