There's tons of R and Python code in scientific computing that's not being replaced by static languages. Anyway, dynamic languages have been around since the 60s. This debate is very old. Trends in one direction or another swing back and forth. If you're going to mention Go, Swift or Rust, what about Elixir or Julia? They're new languages, too.
