If one language is easier for "big enterprise" to maintain than another, then what's the problem? Obviously different languages have different strengths.
The claim 'big enterprise is better served by a statically typed language' is a different claim than 'dynamically typed languages cannot be used for large projects.'

I never said there is a problem. There is a lot of inefficiency in big enterprise, but since they're basically sitting on a formula to print money, it's often not a problem. (Until they start to get out competed.)
