Likewise, if you program C, you better be full of self-doubt, precise and disciplined. My mantra is "Programmers thinking that dynamic typing is better should never use a dynamically typed language, whereas programmers thinking that static typing is the only sane choice may use a dynamically typed language in special cases." People that don´t see dangers take more risks, but they are also the least likely to understand your advice. People that don't understand how types help to adapt and grow software are the least likely to refactor when needed to. That is why I think it is fine to use a type-brittle programming language for quick scripts, but not for building applications that have to change over time and need to be maintained by multiple people.
