HC: Before going any further, Jeff, I guess we ought to clarify what exactly is meant by a ’dynamic language’...

JH: The two variants are generally referred to as ’dynamic languages’ (Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, Tcl, ...) and ’systems languages’ (C/C++, Java, C#, ...). Dynamic languages are high-level languages generally characterized by dynamic typing and are generally interpreted. They typically have more built-in data types, automatically do all memory management, and require no compile step. High-level languages aim to require less from the human programmer and more from the computer.
