Unfortunately static typing doesn't really fix the automation problems that are most common in software development any better than anything else. I wouldn't mistake a personal preference for static type systems and large complex IDEs for superiority of language or productivity.

I wouldn't mistake an appreciation for static types with a preference for large complex IDEs or a statement of language superiority. I work mostly in a text editor in a language whose static type system is far from mandatory.
