I've not found that to be the case. The first draft might get done faster, but then I spend more time debugging issues in dynamic languages that only show up at runtime that the compiler would find in other languages. And then more time optimizing the code, adding caching, moving to more advanced algorithms, and rewriting parts in C just to get it to run at a reasonable speed when the naive approach I implement in other languages is fast enough on first try. For most tasks, modern mid-level statically typed languages like C#, Go, Kotlin really are the sweet spot for productivity. Languages like Python, Ruby and JS are a false economy that appear more productive than they really are.
