StronglyTyped sketches out an interesting analogy in order to trace his thinking about static and dynamic langues. It's an interesting read:

After picking up several more items I went to check out. I emptied my cart and handed the items to the clerk. She gladly accepted all the items in the various containers and gave me a total. She then asked which form of payment. I selected my Visa card. She then asked me 1Ccredit 1D or 1Cdebit". Credit of course (I don 19t like paying ATM fees).

Pretty routine huh? We all know it too. It 19s very intuitive right?

Sounds like a dynamically typed system to me! LOL

Here 19s the thing. I 19ve been religous about only using statically typed languages. But why? I don 19t know 26I just grew up with it.

Well python has been teaching me to let it go! And you know what 26it 19s not that bad.

Go read the rest; it's pretty good
