What attitude?

• zmmmmm 7y ago
  Apologies ... 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.

    that'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.
