You don't have to explain benefits of statically typed languages to me, I'm not fresh from a bootcamp.
The flaw in any argumentation about programming languages is almost always universally stems from the fact that we eagerly paint everything either white or black.
And I've been coding for long enough to learn that there are no universal answers - clean OOP, or pure FP, dynamically or statically typed, garbage collected or manual memory management, etc. The answer is almost always: "it depends".
Looking at any specific language through a prism of your own beliefs guaranteed to form opinions that would be flawed.
You can't put all dynamically typed languages into the same bag - programming in Python is vastly different from programming in Clojure. Same way as you cannot do it for other properties of the language, like it being a Lisp or being hosted on JVM.
