That's interesting - so who moved from static to dynamic languages because of LightTable? Actually I'm not seeing any movement from static typing to dynamic typing in recent years, so wondering what you're talking about.
That doesn't really seem definitive. That page also includes a link to this[1] page, from a month ago, stating that LinkedIn is moving part of its stack to Scala.
Well, in the conclusion they do seem to indicate that Scala use is being re-assessed with Java:
We built the new version of the home page using Scala because the language adapted itself better to asynchronous programming. With the incorporation of lambda functions in Java 8, it’s possible we’ll be utilizing Java more.
We will have to wait for more people from linkedin to weigh in on this, but it does seem to indicate at looking at other solutions than Scala when they can.
