If static has won, why are dynamic languages more popular now (even since 2023).

Comically, I’ve witnessed people say this since the 90s.

For me, I don’t care about static because dynamic is easier. For the very few conditions where it matters, I’ll use static. Otherwise I like the simplicity of dynamic languages, especially python. IDEs provide support and jump to definitions in dynamic languages, too.
