Yevgeniy Brikman (lead developer bringing the Play Framework to LinkedIn) has said in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z3h4Uv9YbE#t=2439' video at JaxConf2014] that large code bases are hard to maintain if they're written in dynamically typed languages.
Ars Technica [http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/06/why-do-dynamic-languages-make-it-difficult-to-maintain-large-codebases/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+arstechnica%2Findex+%28Ars+Technica+-+All+content%29 explores why this might be the case], including a response from Brikman. The gist seems to be that large codebases are hard to maintain anyway, but dynamic languages make it harder, because, for example:
They don't have a compiler that detects certain kinds of errors, instead you have to write test suites to do the same thing.
Many of them are allow code to be self-modifying
They are often - although not necessarily - weaker in organisational features such as namespaces (e.g. javascript and php)
