Kinda like how people used to hate typed compiled languages and migrated to scripted dynamic languages en masse. Then they discovered they want performance of compiled language so they built JIT into their interpreters, eventually adding compilers as well into their languages. Then they also realized that enforcing types are actually good, so they built typing support into their languages, finally coming full circle after 20 years.

I see it both ways. While java can never let go of types, the language is doing what it can to reduce the verbosity that is inherent with types (by e.g introducing inferred types, lambdas etc). I can't say that dynamic languages stopped being dynamic. Yes, there's typescript. But there's a shit ton of dynamic code out there, being written at this very moment probably.
