  As opposed to not in Python.

    … like JavaScript? Bash? C? PHP? Certainly none of those are widely used and have a reputation for making it easy to keep the gun aimed squarely at the foot.

      Those would be roughly similar. The main difference would be between dynamically typed interpreted languages and statically typed compiled ones I guess. At least I think I make less mistakes when the compiler literally tells me what's wrong before I even run the thing. It's awful and slow to develop that way, but it is more reliable for when that's a requirement. So compared to ones like Kotlin or Rust.

  Go, for one. In my experience errors are more common (for both cultural and technological reasons) in Python than in Go. I would guess something similar applies to Rust, though I don't have personal experience. There's wide variation in C, but with careful discrimination, you can find very high-quality libraries or software (redis itself being an excellent example). I don't have rigourous data to baack this stuff up, but I'm pretty convinced it's true, based on my own experience.
