If you mean your future, you could certainly be right. But if you mean the future of all programming I would like to say that compiled/static languages are in fact the past.

They are super useful and given a complicated enough problem/ sophisticated enough programmer they will look like a good enough solution for all problems. But ... Wordpress



Why are they a thing of the past?


Because in the past they dominated everything. This will not happen again. For some problems/people the ease of dynamic languages are simply more important than the correctness/speed issues you deem as paramount.

I don’t mean no one will or should use static languages but believing they will once again dominate like in the 80s and 90s is an illusion imo
