The biggest one of his points which doesn't apply to Python is static typing. The trouble is that the drawbacks and the benefits of both static and dynamic typing are almost invisible in small programs. So you might say types help kids develop their reasoning or that the lack of static types helps them get up to speed more quickly and it would sound plausible in both cases... The fact is that for toy programs it hardly matters.
