Absolutely not, but horses for courses. I use all of these dynamically typed languages regularly and I enjoy programming in them too, but choosing the right tool for the job should take precedence over personal preferences.

So then you are saying every single use case which node.js currently fulfills should use statically typed languages? This does not match my experience of node.js being used in many of the same cases as other dynamically typed languages. What cases specifically are dynamically typed languages suited for?
