As a counter example, Nanoki, a wiki engine in pure Lua, clocks over  
10K lines of Lua code and is no more -nor less- buggy than any other  
piece of software of that size.

Clutches such a static typing only catch the most trivial of typos.  
Anything else is solely on your lap. And no amount of paraphernalia is  
going to save you there.

Just my 2¢.
