1. "I enjoy the benefits of static typing such as types as documentation"

Documentation as a side effect of types is somehow better than a system designed for good documentation?

"code completion in IDE"

See 1

"execution speed"

See LuaJIT, Self, Javascript ... etc

The reasons people often give to justify losing (types) so much flexibility (late binding) never add up to me.
