Everyone loves a good Javascript punching bag but I would argue that the language/ecosystem has the most inertia and positive change within it. It's not perfect and it's exhausting at times, but I'm confident that the language will continue to move towards something more robust and ergonomic.

One more thing to note. From the post:

> In a C application, try as hard as I may, at the end of the day I am always on my own, making sure the invariants I need for memory safety hold. In Rust, I can be 100% confident that I will not have memory-unsafe code. Not 98%-and-I’d-better-check-those-last-2%-really-closely. One hundred percent. That’s a game-changer.

I think if you're always leaning on a compiler for correctness, maybe your problem doesn't reside in the static vs dynamic debate.
