Lots of great experiences with Typescript being reported and I am loving Flowtype lately so the era of only dynamic JS is fading out.

A lot of the JS hate goes out the window with ES6 and type systems.

Doesn't it follow that static language is not necessarily the best thing invented, if it were there wouldn't be any other kind of languages?

Yes, but parent response suggested that dynamic langs are the answer to android development problems.

Adding more to the discussion: Android env is like a framework (as opposed to library), it is always harder to work in frameworks than using libraries - e.g. lots of stuff you will have trouble mocking out in unit tests.

I was just addressing the issues outlined in the post. I would hardly define ClojureScript as a language that came from JavaScript.

Naturally there are cases when a typed language is better than a dynamic one.
