title: Why Is Dynamic Typing So Often Associated with Interpreted Languages?
body: <p>Simple question folks: I do a lot of programming (professionally and personally) in compiled languages like C++/Java and in interpreted languages like Python/Javascript. I personally find that my code is almost always more robust when I program in statically typed languages. However, almost every interpreted language I encounter uses dynamic typing (PHP, Perl, Python, etc.). I know why compiled languages use static typing (most of the time), but I can't figure out the aversion to static typing in interpreted language design.</p>
  
  <p>Why the steep disconnect? Is it part of the nature of interpreted languages? OOP? </p>
