>In some sense this is all a moot point, because any difference in development speed between statically-typed and dynamically-typed languages is dwarfed by one's familiarity with the languages in question I dunno, I have 11 years of python experience, and almost a year of haskell experience. I am more productive in python when doing small (<100 lines) scripting type tasks. But I am noticeably more productive in haskell when writing bigger things. Haskell has a relatively crappy web ecosystem, yet I'm still more productive with snap+postgresql-simple+digestive-functors then I have ever been with any python framework (from zope way back in the day to django and flask). Tasks that are more skewed to haskell's strengths like highly concurrent network servers make the difference even more pronounced.
