Dynamic languages are not ideal for huge code bases. But huge code bases are not ideal, period.

Dynamic languages grant huge power to small programs. Greater power through less code is surely the future.

The work that http://www.vpri.org/ has been doing around OMeta, Nile etc is really exciting.

It is detailed in the later part of this Alan Kay presentation:

Only if we consider future of problem solving involves writing code.

Tool generated code, might be a big thing in the future. Eclipse + Java is already 80% tool generated code.
