I don't know what your point of reference is when you say "relatively young", as at least this timeline of programming languages (pretty image) suggests that languages I'd put in the "dynamic" basket (little typing,runtime code modification,(bytecode) interpreter) seem to start 1959 (Lisp) and seem to be available since the late '80s (*sh+awk, 1978; Smalltalk, 1980; Perl/Tcl, 1987)... Maybe you mean "other" dynamic languages (which aren't even included in the pretty graph), like Python (1991) and Ruby (1995)...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
