Why dynamic languages are popular with startups ?

I have seen people using Ruby on Rails , Groovy on Grails or PHP frameworks for writing sites , especially , if they are a startup. While discussing this matter with a friend of mine , his observation seems to be correct , for me.

He was of the opinion that the people who invest the money know that , all startups are not going to take off. By using these languages for the development , they can bootstrap very fast. If fails , failure is known pretty early. This is another instance of "Fail Fast" model.

A small correction. There is nothing called Groovy on Grails. There is only Goovy and Grails.
