Is Java the only practical choice for webdev?

All other languages are either not compiled languages with static typechecking or have too few eligible users.  C# would also be an option if it wasn't Windows-only.

Saying you need static typing for type safety is tautological.
Static typing and ``type safety'' go from merely pointless to actively harmful when you interact with code other people (including past you) have written; it offers no real advantages and requires you to spend more time reading documentation and useless type signatures. Duck typing offers great flexibility and all the safety that's actually relevant.
