Personally, (despite, or perhaps due to) Python once being my favorite language, I can't wait. Dynamic typing is too much of a mental strain once you are handed someone else's ML algo code and have to integrate it under tight deadlines.
Though I recently discovered opentelemetry and I'm working on a set of decorators I can use to instrument these monstrosities and figure out what all these rando 5 letter undocumented variables do.
- eigenspace 6y agoJust FYI, Julia is dynamically typed too. However, I think it is also an existence proof that most of the things people complain about in dynamic languages aren't actually inherent to being a dynamic language.
- FridgeSeal 6y agoTo be fair though, Julia's types play a much more forward role than your usual dynamically typed language. Whilst there isn't a compiler enforcing strictness, it is idiomatic and encouraged to write type-stable code wherever possible.
