There is definitely some link to the technology and developer productivity, and therefore team size. It's true that statically typed, compiled languages tend to take more time to ship a similar feature, than loosely typed dynamic languages. But beyond small projects, team size is more dependent on the number of features to ship. That is to say, as code complexity increases, the choice of language on team size matters less.
