CTOForADay.comThe Professional Journal of Gregory BlockDynamic vs. Static and The Oncoming Storm- July 14, 2007 The war of dynamically typed languages (e.g. Python, Ruby, JavaScript) versus the statically typed languages (e.g. Java, C) of the world has raged on and on for years; it's second in age and ferocity only to the war over runtime-vs-nonruntime languages (e.g. Java vs. C++). With the latter war fading into the background and each side choosing different parts of the battlefield to entrench themselves, the former have reignited recently in a few notable skirmishes.
