@santiago I guess the actual difference in the short term should come at pt. 6. A good language should deliver better productivity, a banal example could be languages with garbage collection. Dynamic typing also gave this in the short term, but then we found out that in the long term, it leads to poor maintainability. Then there are many more recent examples.
