Types are *inferred*, which means that specifying types of variables or returned values is optional. Types are *inferred*, which means that specifying types of variables or returned values is optional.
<sup>Note: While primitives types (`String`, `int`, `double`, `boolean`, `float`) will be transpiled to their equivalents for the target of the transpiler, this is not the case for other types.<sup>
Every variable has a static type by default; it is possible to make a **non-final** variable dynamic by adding the `dyn`/`dynamic` attribute: Every variable has a static type by default; it is possible to make a **non-final** variable dynamic by adding the `dyn`/`dynamic` attribute:
