Stopped reading when you referred to 'shitty implementations' in C#.

  "Shitty" may not be the right word, since C#'s type system works fairly well for its problem domain. The point is that the type systems found in C# and Java are conservative and in many cases overly burdensome for the type-safety benefits you get. As a result, when compared against purely dynamic languages, the advantages of static typing in Java and C# are not so clear cut (Hence why so many developers just use dynamic languages). If your only exposure to static typing is in Java or C#, then you're really haven't seen a good type system at work.
