I wonder how much this has to do with you finding Python to be better suited to quick scripting tasks.
Even for small scripts, I find Python to be fairly clunky to use, and just having simple type checking would speed things up for me considerably.
- strbean 6y agoI think one of the biggest problems with Python is this notion of "good for small scripts / throwaway stuff". It is far too often that a program is given this treatment, and then needs to grow or be reused and maintained later. Trying to replicate bioinformatics work is a huge PITA because of this type of approach.
