Can we get the title changed? I thought this had to do with dynamic programming, it’s actually a dynamically typed programming language.

  "dynamic programming" and "dynamic programming language" and "dynamically typed programming language" are all different terms and mean different things.

    "dynamic programming" refers to something different. In practice, it often just means "solving a problem recursively using a memo table." But wikipedia obviously does it more justice [1]. It's a terrible name, and even the person who came up with the name admits that it's terrible: "The word dynamic was chosen [...] because it sounded impressive."

      Derp. I misread both parent comments. Please disregard.
