My personal choice would be a language that supported both static and dynamic
type variables.  There have been times when one or two dynamic typed variables
would have been very useful.  I also like static typing as I've had good
luck with compilers finding type mismatches that were errors or possible
sources of problems.  I'm much more experienced with static typed languages
then dynamic, but I would much prefer a language that supported both.
