> python does have pointers under the hood. objects are passed via pointers. Of courses there’s pointers under the hood. It’s a runtime built in C++. But that doesn’t mean that Python -the language not the runtime- has pointers itself. > the optional static type checking in python gives you a stronger typing than what golang does “Stronger” isn’t the term you’d want to use there. Python is not more strongly typed than Go just by virtue of it being more a dynamic language. I do agree that the Go type system is pretty inflexible though.
