The largest recent change in Python is adding support for type annotations [1].

TypeScript is now the #7 language on GitHub.

Matz has said that a major goal of Ruby 3.0 is optional static types [3].

Facebook has reportedly ported large amounts of their PHP code to Hack, which adds static types to PHP.

The poster above mine said that languages that didn't ship out of the box with mandatory typing had a limited lifespan.

Indeed grafting types onto python, ruby, and even php seems more likely than people stopping using.
