This is basically where I am at. Most libraries and applications are trivially typed even in languages with relatively poor type systems like Go and Java. The necessity, or even benefit, of weak and/or dynamic typing is extremely rare and most languages have workarounds or escape hatches for those exceedingly rare cases.

Dynamic typing also makes a ton of optimizations basically impossible and even after monumental efforts languages like Javascript are still quite slow, inconsistent and memory inefficient outside of trivial benchmarks.
