It's the circle of life. Dynamically typed language has fans. Other people correctly say that it would be a lot more useful with static types. Fans take this personally and say it doesn't need static types because (they aren't useful anyway/it goes against the spirit of the language/it's only a scripting language anyway/you can just use a debugger/static types hurt productivity/etc. etc.)

Then eventually they add static types. Happened to Python, JavaScript, Ruby... I'm sure there are more.
