> Considering how much people love and use Rust, Typescript and typechecking in Python, I don't think your point about people prefering JS and Python is that strong.

I do think there's been a "type renaissance" in the past 5 or so years, after we all dove headfirst into JS and Python and broke the whole internet.

Yeah, I agree. I think part of it is due to embracing better type systems. For example TS and Go are structurally typed, which was a rarity before. Type inference is everywhere now. Sum types are usable in Java, TS, Rust. All of these languages are better than 2005 Java. Maybe we'll have a comeback of dynamic languages in the next 5-15 years, and if that's the case I'd love to see what people will come up with.
