What would you prefer then, Lua, with its 1-based arrays? Python is a mature, universal, versatile, insanely popular dynamic language with a nice syntax. It fits the bill perfectly.
- BubRoss 7y agoIf indexing arrays starting at 1 is a big problem, either the language is fantastic or you aren't challenging yourself. Programming gets a lot harder than that.
- root_axis 7y agoSomething with a static/strong type system.
- fastball 7y agoPython has static type checking now, and has always been strongly typed.
- LessDmesg 7y agoI'd like that too, but it's not going to work with the web dev populace. They're used to a dynamically-typed sandbox and won't switch to a full statically typed language.
- fastball 7y agoWhat about TypeScript?
- saagarjha 7y agoLua’s a great language; hating on it for 1-based indexing (it doesn’t have arrays) is somewhat petty.
