My rationale given on another comment is when writing web apps, everything comes in as text so you have to parse/convert and validate parameters anyhow.
Dynamic makes a lot of sense for web programming. Static should definitely be used in high risk software where its life and death, medical devices, rockets, nuclear plants, etc.
As I said on your other comment, when you're in a statically typed language they do that for you automatically.
It appears that you might not have even even tried a statically typed language yet.
