It already looks better if you consider that dynamic typing is more expressive and such languages take much less code to do the same thing and less time. This is not something that can be researched via commit messages, but it is rather obviously true, so the claim from the paper that "static typing is better" is also obviously false and is way out of paper's reach to even claim. But then again this is CS and such claims that go way beyond data and author's expertise are super common in CS papers. Personally I stopped taking CS papers seriously a long time ago.
