Dynamic languages are flexible languages that enable developers to  
write code quickly and easily. The appeal of dynamic languages is  
clear: As systems continue to grow more complex, developers seek  
simpler ways to get their work done. The goal of these languages:  
Simplify the software development process. The winner takes the loyalty  
of the next generation of developers.

With a few small changes to the first five words this could have been
