# Scalars

    my $var = 1;
    say $var.WHAT;   # (Int)

    $var = "some arbitrary string";  # "dynamically" typed
    say $var.WHAT;   # (Str)

    say $var.perl;   # "some arbitrary string"














What does it mean to be dynamically types? I think Perl 6 takes the type

system to a different level, not only bridging a gap between

functional/OO languages, but those that can leverage types in ways that

don't have to be built into the language.
