So more or less dynamic dispatch then?

• bri3d 9y ago
  Yes, a "dynamic language" is generally one where all method calls are dynamically dispatched. They're usually implemented using "message-passing" terminology (ex. "send" in Ruby, "objc_msgSend" in Objective-C) as a throwback to Smalltalk, which inherited the terminology from Actor systems even though the semantics differ substantially.
