That paragraph jumped out at me, too.
I agree with the point, but not its reasoning. The reason why scripting (read: dynamic) languages fall apart at scale is largely because they're too flexible. Abstractions that are convenient in the small can create unmanageable complexity in the large (unless you are extremely disciplined).
