Are you suggesting all dynamically typed languages are "terrible"?

The only languages I can think that share those properties are Perl (5, don't know about 6) and the retired Visual Basic.

There is more there than dynamic typing.

Not sure what I'm missing. Ruby? Python?

You are missing this part: nor are types associated with properties.

Ruby and Python do not fit it.

You can assign values of different types to the same property in those languages, no?

Types dictate¹ what properties are available.

1 - Or, in the case of Python, mostly dictate.
