===Eval===

Some dynamic languages offer an ''[[eval]]'' function. This function takes a string parameter containing code in the language and executes it. If this code stands for an expression, the resulting value is returned. However, [[Erik Meijer (computer scientist)|Erik Meijer]] and Peter Drayton suggests that programmers "use eval as a poor man's substitute for [[higher-order function]]s."<ref>{{Citation |url= | citeseerx = 10.1.1.69.5966 | title=Static Typing Where Possible, Dynamic Typing When Needed: The End of the Cold War Between Programming Languages | author=[[Erik Meijer (computer scientist)|Meijer, Erik]] and Peter Drayton | year=2005 | publisher=[[Microsoft]] Corporation }}</ref>
