Now that we're all up to speed, discuss the pros and cons of each language, as well as which you believe to be the superior language.

Even though you can treat any sequence of bytes in assembly as whatever type you like, whenever you want without indicating that intent, it's not strictly "dynamic" because there is no automatic type conversion.  There really isn't any types at all.  The only notion of types that assembler has is the difference in some math instructions, which vary depending on data length and whether it's signed or not.  FP instructions are also different than integer instructions.  But your original data can be any type and the assembler nor the program won't bitch, notice, or even care.  Pretty much the only built-in type conversion available period is offered by some sign extend instructions like CBW, CWD, CDQ.  (There are instructions available to help convert binary to ascii or BCD but they need other instructions).  You have to manually do any type conversion yourself.
