He also reduces their differences to this point. - Which I find most ridiculous. For one thing, interpretation vs. compilation is in the end an implementation issue (see all the AOT compilers and Cerns ROOT/Cling). The advantage is, that you CAN compile moderately statically typed languages, they all can be equivalently and probably more easily than dynamic ones be implemented in an interpreted fashion. But even then, eclipse compiles while editing, and I never have to wait (The only thing I like about eclipse haha ). So the whole article was just written while intoxicated, or he is missing the deeper connections about language features beyond 2kloc ROR CRUD apps, like being able to find out callsites of a function, and being able to make assumptions about others code (which becomes critical in even moderately large codebases).
