Yeah, exactly. I think people add way too many zeros to those figures when they try to come up with advantages for dynamic-typing. There certainly are some, but I don't think agility is in dynamic-typing's favor.

The usual saying is that faster development is more important because your business probably won't get users anyways. As if Ruby is going to give you a two year head start before any chickens come home to roost.

I don't know about that. Maybe you will get a half-day head start on me if I'm using a statically-typed language I haven't used before and I'm digging through old projects to remember how to write my .gradle hello world.
