For me, static typing is especially valuable when things are changing fast, and I want to have my key abstractions as explicit structures, not buckets of random name/value pairs. @Mark Snyder — I completely agree with your 3 points, EXCEPT that “static typing really encumbers development during the prototyping phase, when the shape of key abstractions is in flux”.

I've been using Ruby quite a bit lately and I've been blown away by how productive it is. I hear a lot of skepticism from some, especially about the issue of scaling to a large project or team. I haven't done it yet, so I can't say whether it works or not. But given the productivity boost, it has got to be worth going down the path to see. Hopefully I'll be able to report on that soon - my team is about to rebuild our site with Rails (moving from ASP.NET). Tim- Steve,
