I think there is an important observation in it though: That dynamic, loosely-typed languages will let you create code that "works" faster, but over the long run will lead to more ecosystem bloat - because there are more unexpected edge cases that the language drops onto the programmer for deciding how to handle.

Untyped languages force developers into a tradeoff between readability and safety that exists only to a much lesser degree in typed languages. Different authors in the ecosystem will make that tradeoff in a different way.
