Same nonsense repeated over and over again... There aren't dynamic languages. It's not a thing. The static types aren't what you think they are... You just don't know what you are saying and your conclusion is just a word salad.

What happened to Python is that it used to be a "cool" language, whose community liked to make fun of Java for their obsession with red-taping, which included the love for specifying unnecessary restrictions everywhere. Well, just like you'd expect from a poorly functioning government office.

But then everyone wanted to be cool, and Python was adopted by the programming analogue of the government bureaucrats: large corporations which treat programming as a bureaucratic mill. They don't want fun or creativity or one-of bespoke solutions. They want an industrial process that works on as large a scale as possible, to employ thousands of worst quality programmers, but still reliably produce slop.

And incrementally, Python was made into Java. Because, really, Java is great for producing slop on an industrial scale. But the "cool" factor was important to attract talent because there used to be a shortage, so, now you have Python that was remade to be a Java. People who didn't enjoy Java left Python over a decade ago. So that Python today has nothing in common with what it was when it was "cool". It's still a worse Java than Java, but people don't like to admit defeat, and... well, there's also the sunk cost fallacy: so much effort was already spent at making Python into a Java, that it seems like a good idea to waste even more effort to try to make it a better Java.

Yeah, this is the lens through which I view it. It's a sort of colonization that happens, when corporations realize a language is fit for plunder. They start funding it, then they want their people on the standards boards, then suddenly the direction of the language is matched very nicely to their product roadmap. Meanwhile, all the people who used to make the language what it was are bought or pushed out, and the community becomes something else entirely.
