Dynamic Versus Static
DynamicLanguages
Simple and succinct
Implicitly typed
Meta-programming
No compilation
StaticLanguages
Robust
Performant
Intelligent tools
Better scaling
Open Source versus Commercial
PythonBinder
RubyBinder
COMBinder
JavaScript
Binder
ObjectBinder
Dynamic Languages On .NET
Dynamic Language Runtime
Expression TreesDynamic Dispatch
Call Site Caching

ScriptObject calc = GetCalculator();object res = calc.Invoke("Add", 10, 20);int sum = Convert.ToInt32(res);
Dim calc As ScriptObject = GetCalculator()Dim res As Object = calc.Invoke("Add", 10, 20)Dim sum As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(res)
VB 10, C# 4.0 And Dynamic
Calculator calc = GetCalculator();int sum = calc.Add(10, 20);
object calc = GetCalculator();Type calcType = calc.GetType();object res = calcType.InvokeMember("Add", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, new object[] { 10, 20 });int sum = Convert.ToInt32(res);
dynamic calc = GetCalculator();int sum = calc.Add(10, 20);Dynamic

Dim calc As Calculator = GetCalculator()Dim sum As Integer = calc.Add(10, 20)
Dim calc As Object = GetCalculator()Dim sum As Integer = calc.Add(10, 20)
Dim calc As Object = GetCalculator()Dim sum As Integer = calc.Add(10, 20)
Visual C# Visual Basic
Static binding
Dynamic binding
(pre-VS 2010)
Binding to ScriptObjects (JavaScript)
Statically typed to be dynamic
Dynamic method
