you don't get more bugs in python vs statically typed languages, you just get different types of bugs
also - there are code parsers like pylint that help you sanity check your source code in that manner.
speed - python is slow. We use python in scientific computing in extremely CPU intensive problems because python makes it very easy to control C and C++ layers that do the underlying work. that power in an interactive environment, complete with good visualization tools is great for science
- jshen 16y agoI'm a huge proponent of dynamic typing, but I don't think your statement about bugs is true. If I typo something in ruby, I will not know unless that code path gets executed through a test. This would never happen in a statically typed language. However I think the productivity benefits of dynamic typing far outweighs this risk in my experience.
