Does anyone remember when the trend was towards expressivity in languages? At th time that meant dynamically typed languages like Ruby and Python.

The pendulum has swung away from dynamic typing but are we sometimes sacrificing expressivity as a result?

I don't really know Rust but from what I've seen of it, it doesn't feel like a natural fit for the web - either front or back-end.

Maybe I'm missing something?
