>Static typing is like unit tests that take no maintenance.
And makes your code 20% longer, which makes for a lot of extra fun not-really-so-cost-free-after-all maintenance.
I found the complaint that it finds bugs earlier (at compilation time!) ironic given that, in my experience, running a suite of unit tests takes less time in python than, say, compiling does in Java, never mind compiling and running tests.
