Yeah, I think dynamic languages improved on C for certain tasks, but the improvements were strong typing and garbage collection. Go and a few other modern languages are adding static typing back into the mix and finding a lot of success in what used to be the purview of Python, Ruby, etc because it allows for better tooling, ergonomics, and performance (in practice, not just theory). It’ll be interesting to see what comes next.
