| | Datatype - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch |
 | | For example, a datatype is a type of a value, a class is a type of an object and a kind is a type of a type. | | | The implementation of a dynamically typed language will catch errors related to the misuse of values - "type errors" - at the time the erroneous statement or expression is computed. | | | Types are usually associated either with values in memory or with objects such as variables. |

| | Dynamic languages were created to address computing needs that mainstream languages ignored or couldn't address effectively due to their design limitations. | | | Dynamic languages were designed to solve the technical problems faced by their inventors, not to address specific goals identified as part of a 'strategic plan' to influence buyers of IT solutions. | | | Given this environment, it is not surprising to learn that dynamic languages are routinely used as part of a holistic approach to scientific computation, in which computational scientists build flexible systems that are then easily scripted by domain experts. |

| | Dynamic typing in OCaml Lambda the Ultimate |
| | Dynamic type errors, on the other hand, are by definition programming errors. | | | Many type errors are not errors, but actually requried in programs which require a higher degree of flexibility. | | | The claim that static type systems help to reduce program errors, i.e., that there is a useful relationship between type errors and program errors, needs convincing evidence (not just data points). |

| | Why dynamic typing? |
| | Dynamic OO languages have benefits that cause (well designed applications) to scale extremely well in size and space because they allow components to be reused and pieced together in a more optimal way, and so reduce overall system complexity. | | | The one aspect I do consider very useful with static typing for building systems is that it *forces* developers to think formally about interfaces between objects or their code breaks quickly. | | | Unfortunately, a dynamically simple concept like "augmentations"[1] is also impossible to correctly represent in the core UML because of its simplistic (C++ ish) static-typing origin. |

| | Bruce Eckel's MindView, Inc: 11-16-04 Static vs. Dynamic |
| | In this regard, their typing system is far safer than a language where dynamic checks are required (Java) or where users can coerce the type system into errors (C/C++). | | | There is an illusion that static type checking can solve all of your problems, followed by the conclusion that more static type checking is always better. | | | For example, many of the features of the Nice language are very appealing to me, and in general it seems to be designed to do work for you while staying out of your way. |

| | Python & Java: Side by Side Comparison |
| | In a dynamically typed language, every variable name is (unless it is null) bound only to an object. | | | Names are bound to objects at execution time by means of assignment statements, and it is possible to bind a name to objects of different types during the execution of the program. | | | strong typing versus weak typing — in programming languages. |

| | Bruce Eckel's MindView, Inc: 3-11-04 About Latent Typing |
| | Latent typing simply takes this one step further, and makes that interface latent so you don't have to express the interface, or to implement it in every class that you want to use in the function. | | | One of the great benefits of object- oriented programming is that it weakens this constraint a bit: polymorphism means that you can stick more than one type of object into a particular variable. | | | To see why it's no easier with or without latent typing, it's important to see the distinction between latent typing and weakening the type constraints on a function's arguments. |

| | The Fishbowl: Weighing into the Static vs Dynamic Typing Debate |
| | Being able to discover precisely where (or if) a type or method is referenced is invaluable. | | | Assigning null to a variable is far more common than assigning the wrong type entirely. | | | When I return to a project after that amount of time, the information that the IDE can glean from the type system is invaluable. |

| | MF Bliki: DynamicTyping |
| | Another area where static typing is useful is that it allows programming environments to be much more helpful. | | | Despite this, there's still something particularly satisfying about programming in languages like Smalltalk and Ruby - and I think it has a great deal to do with the dynamic typing. | | | Somehow things just seem to flow better when you're programming in that environment, even when I'm doing my Ruby in emacs instead of IntelliJ. |

| | Lisp programming language at opensource encyclopedia |
| | Its prominent features include prefix-notation syntax, dynamic typing (variables are type-neutral, but values have implicit type), and the ability to treat source code as first-class objects. | | | Not counting the various machine languages and assembly languages, Lisp is the second-oldest programming language still in widespread use; only Fortran is older. | | | Lisp (which stands for "LISt Processing") is a programming language oriented towards functional programming. |

| | On Java Generics and Dynamic Typing [ ZefHemel.com ] |
| | Now when I find something coded in the libraries, I’ll have to question whether this is the good way to do it, or if it was just expedience. | | | Of course, there’s another boundary the language system can only know so much, and at some point you have to start writing your own tests, that know the specifics of your particular program. | | | Always choosing the static checking approach as the only viable option will ultimately produce a programming system that is intractable. |

| | dynamic typing : Java Glossary |
| | Occasionally (in some research languages) dynamic typing means the identity of 'which type is some object' is computed as a user-defined predicate upon its run-time varying data, and is not an invariant of its creation. | | | There, the identity of the specific subroutine is computed at runtime with a combination of the run-time-varying specific type, plus the statically known method call name. | | | Imagine this: in a dynamically typed language, you could pop off three stacks: object reference, message reference, arguments, mix them, and call the result. |

| | Typing Dynamic Typing |
| | Even when programming in a statically typed language we every now and then encounter statically untypable values; such values result from interpreting values or from communicating with the outside world. | | | We show how, by a careful use of existentially and universally quantified types, one may achieve the same effect, without extending the language with new or unsafe features. | | | To cope with this problem most languages include some form of dynamic types. |

| | Dynamic typing is evil |
| | Later on I wrote a big app in Java, but every time I wanted to distribute it, I had to ask people to mess about with interpreters and libraries. | | | I really dislike the dynamic typing in PHP - at least with strongly typed java you know what to expect from a variable. | | | Once upon a time I tried the "rescue" option of my Red Hat install CD, only to have Anaconda installer script barf on me with a Python traceback saying that the object "_" didn't have a toString method (or something to that effect). |
