Not having to define types is not the biggest merit of dynamic languages.

The biggest benefit is to be able to do things that you couldn’t do if you had a type system. You can do some crazy stuff with Ruby’s meta programming.

How many problems out there are really apropriately solved by runtime metaprogramming?
