> There is no such thing as the perfect language for everything anyway.

People tend to forget this all to easily. For example most of the static type discussions for the past 10 years have taken place on a website built in a dynamic programming language, I'm talking about http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/ which afaik is built in Drupal (i.e. PHP).

To elaborate, I think people don't care what medium they have their discussions in as long as it works.

Are you not going to use StackOverflow because it is written in C# using Microsoft servers instead of Go on Linux?

Did you not use Twitter originally because it was built on Rails?

10 years ago... what CMS was popular in a static typed language? Hell today... what statically typed CMS is popular?

But if that still matters to someone, PHP now supports types!
