An interesting take on why dynamically typed languages became so popular and why staticly typed languages are making a comeback.
Regarding the question of any enterprise language being dynamically typed, Id argue lisp (of the common variety) was supported by developed by and inovated by corporate folks, and is dynamically typed. Symbolics, Xerox, etc. Dynamic typing has been around for a long while.
I do not think Lisp was ever an enterprise language. Might have been used in R&D, and sure it is in a few products. CAD software sometimes uses Lisp as the extension language. That does not make it an enterprise language, though I guess it depends on definition.
