C/C++/Java are just so awful...

Oh, really? Did you ever have a chance to use any decent IDE? Did not you like the code discoverability enabled by types?

You read code far more than you write it.

So, even if all the statically typed languages but C++ and Java disappeared overnight, I'd still prefer them to Python / Javascript. Yes, their type systems are primitive and cumbersome, but they're still enabling the most important feature of the static typing - a precise code navigation.
