Prediction – C# deathclock is ticking

Here is something that the static-typing camp will never ever reconcile with:

Hejlsberg, lead-architect of C# announced at the PDC 2008 that C# 4.0 will be enhanced towards a dynamic language. With the keyword “dynamic” you can declare a variable as a datatype that will be bound at runtime rather than compile time – source

Whenever a language takes on dynamic features, a new language will be invented by the static camp precisely to avoid dynamic typing. Why? I think that Utah will permit gay marriage before the static typing camp allows dynamic features into their language.
