Please, don't. There are wonderful strongly types languages out there, so if one wants or needs a strongly types language, use that, and not Python.
- smitty1e 5y agoThe gradual typing available now seems suitable. I have written plenty of code in typed contexts and plenty without. Python's "consenting adults" approach seems a win. Perhaps, without the GIL and with typing information included, additional performance gains with be on offer. But the "have it your way" nature of Python is a bigger win than either end of the data typing spectrum.
- pmlnr 5y ago> "have it your way" nature of Python TMTOWTDI - There's more than one way to do it - is Perl's motto :) Zen of Python suggests there's just one correct way.
- yellowapple 5y agoSoon Python will add sigils to variables and Satan will start having to wear mittens.
- smitty1e 5y agoThe typing module is much more recent than the Zen easter egg.
