Really just means a dynamic language just like smalltalk, LISP, python, Ruby etc. Like Objective-C all these allow you to add classes and method at runtime.

It's interesting that Swift is a static language, despite having the lightweight modern syntax similar to Python or Ruby. Though I suppose Go is the same way.
Haskell is one of the most strictly static languages around, and its syntax is super light weight.
