This is weird. It's not a matter of what was popular a few years ago.

Static typing didn't "stop" being popular while dynamic typing "was" popular, nor have opinions "changed". Dynamic and static typing have coexisted almost the entire history of programming and will continue to do so.

And so will the flamewars about them, unfortunately.

That's a non sequitur.
