Not quite dynamic typing, but the Mill CPU stores a lot of metadata in-CPU (which is lost when written to memory)- things like size, vector width, validity of the value (as opposed to faulting immediately) or ALU status bits (overflow, zero). The particular interpretation of the bits is still left up to the opcode used, but it does enable some neat tricks that vaguely remind me of dynamic typing.
