Why would the amount of characters possibly matter?

  I find it important because it lowers the barrier of entry to print debugging. I have found myself using less prints in Java than in Python both because of static typing and having to write the full `System.out.println`. This is also important to me because I am very cautious of not doing a file-level import (I don't want to commit a file with the dependency). The fewer characters it takes, the easier it is for me to write it all in a single line and remove it afterward.

    Do you use typing in Python?
    • josalhor 6y ago
      I don't. I've tried it, it just doesn't "click in" for me. I love types and (i.e. I love Rust's type system), but not on Python.

    That's why you should write `log.info("message")` ;) Besides, just use a proper debugger instead.

  bc pgmrs r lazy af. Seriously though... when I'm in debugging mode, speed and efficiency in completing the task is paramount. So, every character I save typing, the better!
