Dan Bernstein says:

   Dynamic typing isn't a semantic feature. It's a state of mind. If you
   want to use the pair (type,value) as a value with certain constraints,
   you can, whether the language supports it or not. It takes at most a
   good preprocessor to make this just as convenient as in any
   ``dynamically typed'' language.

I call this ``designing a new language and compiling into [in this case] C''.
C doesn't have [*1] dynamic typing, and the new language does.

   Look, kid, I'm not misinterpreting what's being said here. People are
   saying that languages with built-in support for dynamic typing are
   somehow better than languages without such support. I'm reacting to that
   statement. On the occasions when I want dynamically typed variables, I
   can use them without trouble in C.

The last sentence merely highlights Dan's competence as a programmer; not all
of us are so lucky.
