A contrary perspective? Even the original post is a dubious argument to the effect of "it's not that the language is dynamic, it's that dynamic languages lack X or Y!".

A simulation of static typing but mostly they just passing freaking tuples around. Everything is a tuple in a tuple in a dictionary in a tuple in a homegrown table.
