Am I the only one who feels like dynamically typed #programming languages are becoming obsolete? Type systems are more expressive and type inference is more ergonomic, so there seems to be few arguments in favor of weaker typing.

I think there are still places weakly-typed languages have their uses; I loved writing unit tests in Groovy because it was so easy to make test doubles to do what I needed without having to explicitly mock out irrelevant pieces just to get everything wired up and running.
