If you are interested in Harper's opinions of dynamically typed languages, I recommend his blogpost "Dynamic Languages are Static Languages" [1]. It was also discussed on HN [2], in the context of a blogpost of Tratt's, defending dynamically typed languages.

So the previous posts made me very curious about the talks, but if that's the level of care and insight...no thanks.
