I think the develop faster thing is a poor argument for static typing. The refactoring piece of the equation is the most important to me. Static types provide confidence (and speed) while making sweeping changes to code.

Yeah totally agree that refactoring is part of development but I don’t think people frequently think about in comparison to maintenance.
