• Its name comes from Monty Python

Type system

• Dynamic (weak-typed), as type-checking is performed at runtime
• Duck-typed, like JavaScript (and unlike PHP or C#), the name of the class does not determine the type of an object

  If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

• Type system: TBC
