I'll also throw out there that scripting languages w/o types tend to have a lot less tooling around the language. People are used to being able to type whatever they want and things kinda just work.

Typed languages are very different. The tooling is far more robust and more able to point out errors, but also tends to be more complex than just a simple text editor.

This is changing with VS Code and LSP being a thing, but it still influences those communities in fundamental ways.
