This seems to imply that developers make a static vs. dynamic choice separately prior to and separate from evaluating other aspects of languages to choose between them. While some developers may do that all the time, and some may do that some of the time, I don't think its true as a generalization.
Certainly Go is statically-typed, and often portrayed as competing fairly directly with Ruby/Python, which are not.
