I would certainly call APL "dynamically typed",
but I don't think of it as "object-oriented".
As I recall, in (Classic) APL, if you don't like the value in a variable,
you can replace it with a value of any type, including an array
of rather arbitrary dimensions. Now *that's* dynamic.
The SNOBOLs probably also qualify as "dynamically typed",
but not "object-oriented".
