>The pendulum is quickly swinging towards dynamic typing. Programmers are leaving the statically typed languages like C++, Java, and C# in favor of the dynamically typed languages like Ruby and Python. And yet, the new languages that are appearing, languages like go and swift appear to be reasserting static typing?
The author makes the claim that the pendulum is swinging back towards dynamic typing but then follows up immediately with the contradictory evidence that the new hip languages showing up are strongly typed.
I'm curious what if any evidence can be presented that this pendulum is swinging in any direction as oppose to just pulling at opposite ends as it has been for quite some time.
