> We've all seen the backswing to statically typed languages.

I think, in general, we've seen the hype cycle shift from static to dynamic to static, and we see that e.g. startups and otherwise highly opinionated people who care about such things maybe change their preferences (or simply new people entering the field with new preferences), but...

the millions of people writing Java code didn't go away when Ruby and later Node were all the rage, and all the PHP jobs also still exist.

Trends come and go, but dynamic and static typing have coexisted since forever. LISP is the second oldest language and if that's too niche, Smalltalk was decently popular for a while.

I also agree though that modern statically typed languages are much better than e.g. Java used to be.
