> I'd argue that lack of static typing makes a language tougher to learn rather than more approachable

I think it's a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing. It makes it harder to master, but less intimidating when you're first starting out.

Also, I probably shouldn't have used the term static typing, since the issues I'm talking about are more associated with weak typing rather than dynamic typing.
