Dude, you're comparing specific languages you're naming, rather than comparing dynamic and static.

He grouped them by dynamic ones (the scripting languages) and the statically typed ones.

Arguments in favor were:

less confusion, less classes, more libraries, cleaner interfaces and easier testing.

Of those classes and libraries obviously apply per language not per typing discipline, confusion was rhetorically tied to the number of classes so again, thats about the language not the typing.

tormeh's right, the comparison was between languages, not between typing.

But the two typed languages are ones that have poor type systems. I'm more productive in OCaml than I am in Ruby or C#.
