I think I am more on the side that many of the errors C# "saves" you from are those that exist
precisely because of the typing system it uses.

In that case, it is not much of a save and since python is 5-10 times more productive than C# (check out Eckel's article) definitely not worth it.

I guess I feel disappointed that open source community is being held back by the Java/C# languages, when other languages are much more productive.
