* Is there such a thing as '''a dynamic programming language''' or should we say that one ''implementation'' of a language is '''dynamic''' ? I would vote for the second option. After all, iirc, there's an interpreted version of C, with a toplevel and the possibility of adding or replacing functions at run-time. Still, it is the same language.

'''I have a better suggestion:''' A '''dynamic programming language''' is one that supports rapid development cycles: rapid modification of code and designs, etc. Also, such languages are not "new and shiny"; they have been with us since the 1960 late 1950's (LISP).
