I agree completely. My preference would be for strongly typed languages
as the "standard" with loosely typed sprinkled in where it made sense. I
wasn't trying to argue in favor of using loosely typed in the enterprise
as a whole.

I was referring to dynamic languages more than loosely typed ones, but
for example, commissions. Yes, I know these problems can be solved in
static languages, we do it all the time today, but there have been times
(not tons but some) where I've said to myself, "damn, I wish I could
just store this formula as data and evaluate it at runtime." I had the
same issue dealing w/retirement system calculations.
