Why does everyone seem so obsessed over typed vs. untyped? Why are typed languages so undesirable to "hardcore" uses?

  What gives you the idea that statically typed languages are undesirable to "hardcore" users? If anything, I've seen the opposite--the really advanced programmers (especially those who specialize in programming languages) seem to prefer statically typed languages. Of course, there is some serious selection bias here for me, largely because programming language design has been one of my primary interest lately, and as I said earlier, the field seems generally biased towards static typing.

    Actually that was a typo... I can't go back and edit it now... I meant to say "desireable" :-)
