Dynamic languages have regained enormous popularity in recent years. One of the principal dynamic programming languages, Ruby, has been used as the language for assignment work and the presentation of concepts in an introductory Operating Systems course. This was a strange choice for a systems course but there were several good reasons for the choice including the ease with which Ruby provides access to Unix commands and system calls. After some initial problems, the change has been very successful and demonstrates that even in the core courses of a Computer Science curriculum dynamic programming languages have benefits.
