While it might seem like things are shifting back towards static typing, I think that is primarily happening in the development of technology now but not the use of that technology yet. I think these predictions will probably appear to be true for some period of time before these newer typed languages begin to gain larger amounts of usage. (However, I expect the testing will probably stick around. I'm highly skeptical of the idea that typing and testing are some how interchangeable.) Also, I think it'll be interesting to see what role gradual typing systems like Flow, Hack, and TypeScript might have on getting static typing into existing dynamically typed codebases.
