Here in my company I do Java development, but recently I did a grails project, which is being liked here and is being promoted. The project took little time to develop, but now they are rolling it off to many users and i have reservations about it's scalability. So now i should ideally port it to java for scalability since it has been accepted by management. So in my view you should use both static and dynamic typed languages, dynamic to do POCor prototype quickly and showcase and statically do it after wards to scale.

The other is that because scripting languages are reflective in nature, it is easier to extend them in exotic ways, for example to build DSLs - and this capability can make them very well suited to solving certain kinds of problems more easily.
