The other side of "Everything is a tradeoff" (http://michaelrbernste.in/2013/11/13/the-only-sure-thing-in-computer-science.html …) is that many, many good technical solutions are hybrids.
IMO you're wrong if you think the "next big language" will be "either" "static" or "dynamic." It'll be both, if we're making progress.

@mrb_bk At SPLASH, Peng Wu said, "All the dynamic languages are starting to look like static languages, and vice versa." -

@chrisamaphone@mrb_bk I dunno, I read Peng's point as something like "Will you fools *please* stop bickering over static 'versus' dynamic." -

@mrb_bk#ceylonlang’s union types offer benefits of both: safety of “static” and flexibility of “dynamic” -

@mrb_bk (hopes that this is the future of C++)

@mrb_bk one of the problems is that most type systems are crap. More practical type systems will lead to more use. -
@mrb_bk could not agree more -
@mrb_bk@jonathoda showed how this could workhttps://vimeo.com/74314050 -
@mrb_bk There have been great middle grounds. Go's descriptive (rather than prescriptive) interfaces spring to mind. -
