Are dynamic languages going to replace static lang...
Agree. Weakly typed is so loosely defined and subjective to be a completely useless adjective. It basically a synonym for 'language I dislike'.

How about some languages allow implicit type conversions, and others do not.

Is Scala weakly typed then because it has implicits?

I don't know, but JS and PHP implicit conversions are widely acknowledged to cause plenty of issues, which Python and Ruby do not have since you have much fewer cases of implicit conversion.
