While I too am attracted to the static typing in many ways, I have found in my own experience of working in C++ full time for a few years (with some non-trivial work in Swift as well, which has quite a strict type system), and then Clojure full time for a few years, that when you measure all the other features of a language, typing alone does not make a big difference.
It's kind of like the argument some people make about how the cost of your rent or mortgage is the best indicator of your cost of living. There are so many other factors, and some of the lowest cost of living I've personally experienced has been in places with considerably higher rent than average, due to the offset of other factors.
