Dynamic typic and scripting are not related. Scripting usually points
towards a more interpretive way of execution.  You can have statically typed
scripting and dynamic compilation, and with all the JIT experimentation with
the above (Parrot, J and Iron variants), shell script is maybe more
"scripting" than any of the above.

Bash has been called (shell)scripting for 4 decades now. Probably longer than
the three above exist combined
