Line 60:
Ocaml is statically typed, at compile time, and by most purposes very "static" language. I think we can conclude that the lack of visible type annotations doesn't make any difference when deciding how "dynamic" a language is.

==Characteristics of dynamic programming languages==
 
 
Line 74:
Closures are a way of creating new functions at runtime - in that sense they are related to dynamic compilation. Macros in Lisp can be seen as a run-time extension to the interpreter / compiler.
 
==Advantages==
 
* Dynamic programming languages are generally somewhat easier for newcomers to programming, in large part because they need not understand the system of annotations referred to above in order to write programs

==Rewrite==
