There is a trend going on in software engineering for the last 30 years.

Languages that are weak on typing (no typing at all, Duck typing,
loose typing, dynamic typing, etc...) are getting very popular
and languages that have strong static type checking which allows
more error to be detected at compile time, are being ignored
and are less popular with the masses.
