I've got a system here that is made in a dynamic language, and extends well
over 100k+ lines. Developed by more than 25 developers. That shows that dynamic
languages can achieve the proper goal.

The idea that static-typed languages are the best solution is just plain wrong.
Just as dynamic-typed languages are the only and best solution. To me, a hybrid
would probably be very satisfying. In some cases you want a static behavior, in
the others you want a dynamic behavior.
