I feel like all the hype for dynamic languages has led to a lot of backlash in the opposite direction.



For me it was writing unit tests for python where you’re pretty much manually checking types. Or running slow one off processing scripts that fail at the last step because of an issue that static types would have caught. Writing the same thing in go usually takes the same amount of time, runs 5x as fast, and works the first time.
