Title: Dynamic typing in C# 4.0
Abstract
Microsoft has unveiled first bits of the new C# 4.0, Microsoft's most popular
programming language today. The next version comes with many new features
and changes. The most interesting change is the introduction of dynamic typing
in the statically typed C#. It will support a hybrid model of static and
dynamic typing.
This paper discusses the new typing system and its benefits for developers and
interoperability with dynamic languages built on .NET. Moreover since
dynamic typing isn’t supported by a byte code into which C# is
compiled, the paper explains how the compiler generates the byte code, how
dynamic variables are represented on the byte code level and discusses
performance of the compiled dynamic code.
