There are several dynamic languages available, and different ones are better for different purposes. The general purpose dynamic language that I suggest is Python, because it's very readable, it's very handy to write prototypes in, it allows a low bug count, it's widespread and you can find all kind of libs for it. Lua is better for interfacing with C, and the small size makes it good to write the logic for games, and its JIT is the best. Clojure seems nice for low-performance parallel code. It's a bug un-prone language. Qi and its derivatives have the most powerful type system. Bye, bearophile
