My personal choice would be a language that supported both static and dynamic type variables. There have been times when one or two dynamic typed variables would have been very useful. I also like static typing as I've had good luck with compilers finding type mismatches that were errors or possible sources of problems. I'm much more experienced with static typed languages then dynamic, but I would much prefer a language that supported both. -- A good bureaucracy is the best tool of oppression ever invented.
