I dislike the "static" word, it's too vague. Would be better to call it "typed vs untyped".
They say using typed vs untyped language. Is like free shape sculpting vs using bricks. There are place for both. Each way has advantages and disadvantages. I like free shapeless way for small experiments, thinking without restriction building prototypes, moving fast. And use stricter, typed approach when building something larger, or working with team, defining interfaces, building reliable systems.
