The dynamic/compiled distinction needs to go away
dynamic / compiled are orthogonal.
CL is dynamic and gets compiled as you enter in the REPL.

Pretty much the same with Smalltalk, but people still make this distinction in their minds. That's part of my point. The distinction no longer even has so much basis in the actual organization of code and runtimes!

Dynamic/compiled should be orthogonal, but rarely have been in practice. Witness PHP, Perl, Ruby, Lua, Python.

It's time for it to be so in practice. The technology is way ahead of our cultural expectations.
