    • 2013, Roberto Ierusalimschy, Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo, Waldemar Celes, “Lua 5.2 Reference Manual”, in ControlByWeb‎[1], archived from the original on 25 July 2024, page 1:
      Lua is a dynamically typed language. This means that variables do not have types; only values do. There are no type definitions in the language. All values carry their own type. All values in Lua are first-class values. This means that all values can be stored in variables, passed as arguments to other functions, and returned as results.
    • 2022, Ronald T. Kneusel, Strange Code: Esoteric Languages That Make Programming Fun Again, No Starch Press, →ISBN, page 54:
      A dynamically typed language does not require the programmer to declare the type of data a variable holds before using it. Python is a dynamically typed language.
