Lesscode.org has an enormous post on James Gosling's recent idiotic comments. DHH, creater of Rails has also has comments.
Ryan at Lesscode concludes thusly:
All we’re asking is that you stop spreading misinformation about the current state of dynamic languages to the press, analysts, and your customers. This does not require you to champion or otherwise support these technologies - just stop lying about them. One year ago, this type of behavior could be attributed to a lack of documentation and discussion on these issues, today it’s impossible to attribute to anything but malice.
