The first statement is provably false, empirically, as huge systems are overwhelmingly not written in dynamically typed languages.

Not all languages are created equal and some were designed to be more conducive to maintable code for large teams of developers.

Ruby is not one of these languages.

Your conclusion is not supported by the claim you try to support it with.

You're free you think so, but you've not provided anything but unsupported conjecture and logically invalid reasoning to support your belief, so rather than convince me, you've provided an additional reason to question your judgement.

What do you mean by huge systems? Many of the largest web platforms were indeed built with dynamically types languages. And these days Javascript somehow ends up being used for almost everything you can think except an OS kernel.
