The article's use of "typed vs untypes" instead of "statically vs dynamically typed" is really unfortunate, and doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

You mean because the word "untype" is a negation and as such doesn't evoke a positive tune?

No, because it is wrong.

Ruby is not untyped. It is dynamically and strongly typed.

BCPL is an untyped language. One of very few.
