i feel like uncle bob’s opinion on static types arose when he became an aficionado of clojure, which doesn’t have them.

You can actually find his opinion forming even earlier, e.g. here's something from 2003: https://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=4639

His opinions do change though, if slowly. Perhaps in 10 years he'll try Common Lisp.

He mentions Python as a correlated factor in his love of unit tests. He also reveals how 'trendy' his mindset and strong opinions are.
