Static or Dynamic Types?

[Yegg]

There are many languages out there, some choose to be statically typed and some choose to be dynamically typed. I'd like to know your opinions on what is generally better to use. Static types or dynamic types? If you'd like to, provide an explanation as to why you chose what you did. I'm just curious as to what the results will be here.

I prefer static types, they're generally easier to use and manage as a whole - you also know what you're dealing with so you don't start assigning some types to other types by accident(strongly typed languages).

Dynamic types. No need to fuss with refactoring. Less typing. Less compiler stupidity.

Agreed wholly with the above
