> That's where you are wrong. Beginners don't know that these things matter to them. But they very much matter. Could you specify why they matter for a beginner? Because I've been using Python for quite a while and I can't answer your previous question about what specific Python version did that subclass attribute change. I think by the time such a detail comes up a "beginner" is already comfortable enough with the basics to learn about it. But in Python those basics tend to be more straightforward and riddled with less boilerplate and redundant syntax than in many other languages, which is nice because getting slowed down by those things when learning is frustrating. > You are suggesting to do thing wrong in hopes that it's somehow if you do it fast, nobody will notice? I'm suggesting that reducing friction in the first phases of learning programming is a worthwhile improvement and that the choice of language matters in this regard, nothing else. I didn't say a word about learning an entire language or learning programming up to the point which you call "knowing how to do it well". > We already have armies of programmers who believe in strict static typing or in object-oriented programming. This will just add more idiots to their ranks. Am I reading this correctly that you think relying on strict static typing is for idiots? Because I made the experience it's very helpful for maintaining code, in addition to other best practices of course.
