Haskell has (optional) dynamic typing now:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/D...

I have played with it a bit, and haven't had the occasion to use it for anything important. Static typing is good enough for me. (And this is coming from someone who mostly programs Perl.)

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I think baked-in dynamic typing is preferable, but I suppose there are cases where this could work just as well.
