What is the appeal of dynamically-typed languages?

Kris Nuttycombe asks:

I genuinely wish I understood the appeal of unityped languages better. Can someone who really knows both well-typed and unityped explain?

I think the terms well-typed and unityped are a bit of question-begging here (you might as well say good-typed versus bad-typed), so instead I will say statically-typed and dynamically-typed.

I'm going to approach this article using Scala to stand-in for static typing and Python for dynamic typing. I feel like I am credibly proficient both languages: I don't currently write a lot of Python, but I still have affection for the language, and have probably written hundreds of thousands of lines of Python code over the years.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

##Grep for content within XML tags

grep -oP "(?<=<bla:Username>).*?(?=</bla:Username>)" app/logs/test.curl.log

Search for strings in Jenkins jobs

for x in ls -d */; do grep -r -H "srv" ${x}/workspace >> /tmp/srv; done

Description

This is a Dashing widget that is based on the Dashing GitHub Stats widget. This widget displays Last Activity, Open Issues, Open Pulls, Forks, and Watchers of a given set of BitBucket repositories.

Setup

You can either copy and paste these files on your own, or you can use dashing install 15a542122b198449903d to copy the files into your dashing directory in place.
Edit the bitbucket.yml file to configure the widget. An example configuration is below.
Add bitbucket_rest_api and actionview gems to your Gemfile and run bundle install
Add the widget to your dashboard erb file. The data-id value is the repository you want to display information for. An example is below.
