This 'Unreasonable Effectiveness' naming scheme has really started to be abused, ha? I mean this really just points out that dynamic languages are somewhat faster to work with than static languages - hardly 'Unreasonable'. I think as a rule large project/codebase -> static typing is nice, but for fast scripting/problem solving dynamic is clearly the way to go (hardly original). I don't think the cited data here provides a good argument against that - the study involved a quick problem (several hours), and the bug breakdown does not convince me that having type checking does not prevent many bugs in the long term. The final point about anti-modularity is just weird given OOP and all. Still, some interesting data.
