Good paper - Dynamic Languages-ready for the next challenges, by design by David Ascher. Note that Smalltalk is one of the first dynamic languages, and lives on in multiple commercial and open-source versions. And don't forget Objective-C, which was initially commercial but now is open-sourced. [Aside: why don't the maintainers of gcc take the changes that Apple made to support their blend of Objective-C and C++? Apple made the changes available, but the gcc people didn't integrate them.]
