   March 9th, 2008 at 02:36 PM Duck typing, technically, is not polymorphism however it kind of looks like it doesn't it. Polymorphism is tied to typed languages and requires inheritance or an interface to achieve similar results. This is still very bound to a typed system. Duck typing does not require inheritance, I just happen to use it in this example. Duck typing is one of the many benefits of dynamic typing.
