I was surprised to see Java (including spring framework) and C# becoming popular choices outside enterprise and am wondering what the yc hivemind current thinking on pros of cons of strong typing in the backend.

Go is a nobrainer for the listed competition. TS has rich types, but a poor runtime. Theres pretty much no cons to static typing unless youre scripting or your language lacks inference / has types as an option only.
