> On the other hand, there are correct programs which we still don't know how to type. This means that there are programs we just can't write in statically typed languages, at least not yet.

I know this is true, but is it common? What would be a realistic case for this? Realistic as in, "code most people who are fans of dynamic typing find themselves writing". Contrived examples can always be found, but if someone told me they don't use static typing because there are programs that cannot be typed, I'd ask them "how often do you write that kind of programs?".
