Until you find them in production. Then you git blame and go take a long look in the mirror thinking about what you've done.
In the early aughts the terseness of python seemed great. Now as I age I find i have less time for it.
- Waterluvian 3y agoI feel the exact same way. Python gave me so much flexibility and escape hatches when I did dumb design things as a novice. Now as a veteran I just want a boring, strong static language with clear boundaries and behavioural expectations
- sureglymop 3y agoI just always found it nice as a prototyping language. If you have an idea of how you want to do something or solve some problem, create a working prototype in python. Then create a more polished version in another language.
- IshKebab 3y agoI don't think terseness is the issue. It's the fact that it lets you do anything, even if it's a terrible idea. `__subclasses__` is my favourite example of that.
