How does the new development system differ from other static programming environments?

The new development system is also different from other static programming environments which use an interpreter and an incremental compiler. It provides rapid development without edit-compile-test-modify cycle in the dynamic environment. This is especially useful for concept approval at an initial development phase when the solution is unknown until a certain shape of the system is formed. It also provides a smooth connection to a true dynamic typing system, which I just list as below but will talk in my future columns in detail:

• Developing systems requiring dynamic typing. Examples include application GUI builder, simulation system maker, and operating system generator.
• Flexibility in choosing the degree of dynamicity. The transition from dynamicity (fluid) to staticity (solid) is a smooth transition, and in between the type systems offers semi-fluid or jelly state. Application developers have alternatives to determine a suitable dynamicity.
