I'm sure Anders Hjelberg is a very bright guy - but it's completely clear that he has no understanding of dynamic typing whatsoever. This is from Jim Hugunin, the Iron Python guy:

Prior to my talk, Anders Hejlsberg delivered an amazing talk on the Future of C# which he shows for the first time how we've added dynamic typing to that language with a static type called "dynamic" - yes, you read that right.

Declarative dynamic typing. Yeah, that's useful.

Hat tip Patrick Logan.
