Alpha: God damned crazy language! I can't tell what type anything is!

Gamma: Well it's no good shouting about it. It's a perfectly well-typed 
expression.

Beta: Let it go kid, it's not wise to upset a Python programmer.

Gamma: But sir, nobody complains that Python is dynamically typed.

Beta: That's because in Python people don't write functions that take a 
list of functions, compose them into a single function, return a 
high-order function that takes a function and applies it to the result 
of the first function, apply 0 to that, execute the resulting function 
on an empty list and finally return an Integer. Haskell programmers have 
been known to do that.

Gamma: ...I quite see your point, sir.
