Absolutely. Dynamic languages only seem terse because you don't see all the associated test code inline. I've been programming in a mix of dynamic and statically typed languages for more than 15 years now and I'll take a modern statically typed language over a dynamic language any time if I have my choice. It's a lot harder to design a static type system that's both expressive enough to be pleasant to use and strict enough to be useful. But we're getting there in modern languages like Rust, Kotlin, Swift etc.
