What is the appeal of dynamically-typed languages?

Kris Nuttycombe asks:

I genuinely wish I understood the appeal of unityped languages better. Can someone who really knows both well-typed and unityped explain?

I think the terms well-typed and unityped are a bit of question-begging here (you might as well say good-typed versus bad-typed), so instead I will say statically-typed and dynamically-typed.

I'm going to approach this article using Scala to stand-in for static typing and Python for dynamic typing. I feel like I am credibly proficient both languages: I don't currently write a lot of Python, but I still have affection for the language, and have probably written hundreds of thousands of lines of Python code over the years.

# Has your OS/FS/disk lost your data?
# cd to the directory containing your project repositories and run the command
# below. (It's long; make sure you get it all.) It finds all of your git repos
# and runs paranoid fscks in them to check their integrity.
(set -e && find . -type d -and -iname '.git' | while read p; do (cd "$(dirname "$p")" && (set -x && git fsck --full --strict)); done) && echo "OK"
# I have 81 git repos in my ~/proj directory and had no errors.

Solution for `git clone` using Ansible for repos with private submodules with github deploy keys
# Problem:
#
# If you use git submodules linking two private github repos, you'll need to create a separate deploy key for each.
# Multiple keys are not supported by Ansible, nor does ansible (when running git module) resort to your `.ssh/config` file.
# This means your ansible playbook will hang in this case.
#
# You can however use the ansible git module to checkout your repo in multiple steps, like this:
#
- hosts: webserver

Using password-store with git repository synching

Password-store keeps your passwords (or any other sensitive information) saved in GnuPG encrypted files organized in ~/.password-store. For more information about GPG, consult the GNU Privacy Handbook.

Getting started

To get started, install pass and generate a keypair.

$ brew install pass
$ gpg --gen-key
$ gpg --list-keys
package main
import (
"net/http"
"database/sql"
"fmt"
"log"
