There are languages though like eg: Groovy where gradual typing is more designed in. It's unfortunate to me that Python has cultivated this attititude because it's like local maxima that prevents the mainstream getting to soemthing better. Python is the new perl / PHP etc.
- BiteCode_dev 7y agoWhat attitude?
- zmmmmm 7y agoApologies ... I mean the attitude that Python is "good enough" because it has type hinting and therefore it is not worth bothering with exploring other languages, especially ones that have wholly more powerful type systems. I have found (personal experience only here) that it can be tremendously hard to get Python programmers to learn and embrace other languages and approaches to software.
- baq 7y agothat's true of any sufficiently popular tech stack. some people get either way too attached to their beloved language (...do carpenters fall in love with hammers?) or just are too lazy to learn something else - assuming that programming is their profession and not just a means to an end.
