Ruby is compiled to byte-code and is very similar. The technical name you
are referring to is "dynamic typing"

Hi
Since I started using supercollider I'm become used to it's ease of use,
and it's great functionality. When going back to c or c++ for other projects
I always feel like going back to the stone age.
I particularly love the flexible type system, I don't know the technical
name of this, but being able to assign whatever I want to a variable without
first defining what is easy. I love that everything is an object, and that
the control structures are themselves methods of objects. In my code
nowadays I don't ever use "for" loops, I always use .collect or .do . . I
love the huge ammount of container classes with methods to do almost
everything I can think off. Also the garbage collection is great.
So my question is, is there a compiled language that has this features ?
And if yes, why the hell isn't everyone using it ?
cheers,
