Despite the lack of static typing, python has memory safety and a GIL; eliminating a much larger class of bugs, so it's not that hard to believe.
- Geminidog 6y agoAdditionally clear error messages similar to offensive programming. Any runtime error in python reads like a compile time error with the interpreter giving you the exact location where the error occured and what error occured. You'd be surprised how many c++ programmers think python is a terrible language just simply due to the lack of type checking and indentations. A lot of them have no idea how much easier and how much more productive life is outside of the c++ world. Take a look at the other replier. He's thinking "perhaps" it's true, he has no idea.
