I find it interesting how we have come full circle on static typing. When I was in University 2009-2013... and years leading up to it, dynamic typing was becoming the hot thing after years of Java/C/C++ dominance. Statically typed languages were looked down upon and talked about as being analogous to "Enterprise", "suit and tie" type soul crushing software development. We had people fulling in Ruby/Rails bandwagon, Java/C/C++ starting to become deprecated from university curriculum in favor of Python... JS starting to eat the front end and HN startups were talking about how they write their entire stack in a flavor of Lisp. And now, just a few years later- Rust, Go are two of the hottest languages around, TypeScript is eating JavaScript, Python/Ruby have added static typing constructs, C# continues to do well in its niche and even Java of all languages has become somewhat cool again even though being Oracle product. It's been an amazing transition to watch in action play out in front of my career, I can't even imagine those who have been in the industry for 30-40years who have probably been through a dozen of these cycles.
