I've worked with Haskell, OCaml and Erlang professionally. The other half of my career was spent mostly with some variants of C and Python. (I haven't contributed to GHC, though.)

I can get work done in dynamically typed languages without arguing all the time.

And from the point of view of eg Agda, Haskell itself is rather dynamically typed. It's all a continuum.

Of course, some languages are still better than others. And even the same language can get better or worse over time. For example, modern Python is much more palatable than Python used to be in the bad old days.
