Dynamic typing means you waste less time defining stuff, and stuff you did for some purposes just magically works for some other purposes you may want to give it later on, without having to inherit or implement whatever object-oriented bullshit. For example:
def dup(x):
return x + x
You may have thought out that for numbers, yet it also works for strings and lists, and if you later implement another collection type supporting __add__, it'll also work there. Time wasted defining types: 0.
