IMO, that list is specific to JS because JS now gives you the ability to optionally add types. Otherwise, there are good arguments to be made for dynamically typed languages and statically typed languages. That is, I have seen a proportionally similar number of maintainable Python projects as Java.

If you bring up Java when you talk about statically typed languages, let me be sneaky as well and mention PHP as a dynamically typed language. (What I mean: both are shit and are not worth mentioning.)

Python added type hints in version 3.5. It's a good checklist for dynamically typed languages with optional static typing I'd say.
