I take issue with this statement in the article: > the industry has learned over time that statically typed languages actually enable a whole host of new tooling possibilities, and ultimately, this tooling can drastically improve developer productivity and codebase maintainability I would say, a new generation of developers have learned this. But I don't think the industry as a whole ever thought dynamic everything was something that would scale long-term. Dynamic languages are great for prototypes and tiny teams of 1 to 5 disciplined developers. As soon as the LOC starts to climb, or you have one loosely disciplined developer (which describes 80% of developers on the planet), you're toast. I never felt dynamic would become the central paradigm for most business software development. Just something used by startup founders less than 5 years out of college, hobbyists, and for selective portions of large projects (like maybe plugins and extensions of a larger piece of software).
