But that's exactly what that expression means?
A car with an automatic transmission is "easy to learn and use", but an automatic transmission is way more complicated to construct than a manual one.
- wheelerof4te 4y agoI wouldn't call subclasses, metaclasses and decorators easy to use, let alone learn to use correcly. The comparison makes no sense.
- philipov 4y agoWhat? Decorators are easy to use, subclasses are easy to use, and you don't need metaclasses.
- ThePadawan 4y agoI read your "vodoo magic in a programming language" to mean "behind the scenes in the implementation of the programming language", not "for a programmer to understand while using the programming language".
