I did. I've been doing it for over 3 decades, and worked with all kinds of languages. Of course, it's only my own anecdotal data set, but no, "once you try strongly typed language you'll see how magnificent it is" doesn't work anymore. I tried, and it's not that it's bad - it has its advantages - but it's not the bugless paradise that fanboys promise. And also I learned that running incorrect code 50 times a minute is not bad at all - actually, it's a pretty good rapid prototyping technique. Some people never launch their code until they are sure it's 100% perfect, I am not one of those people.
