> seem to prove otherwise

Prove how? They could have succeeded in spite of dynamic typing, not because of it. Facebook defined a new programming language to add static typing to HHVM. The process of plugging into WordPress is infamous in its disorganization.

There’s a lack of good statically-typed languages, so it’s natural for many popular things to be built in dynamically-typed ones, but that doesn’t make the dynamic typing approach better.
