Yes, I may have failed in getting it across, but a big point is this: I don't think dynamic languages will suddenly die out. Instead, strongly-typed languages will become more convincing. We are seeing better tools, and they are becoming more ergonomic.

Elm's latest blog post said it really well:

> Compilers should be assistants, not adversaries. A compiler should not just detect bugs, it should then help you understand why there is a bug.

Please call it 'dynamically-typed' languages. You don't say 'strong language'. You say 'strongly-typed language'.
