Why would your colleague waste time on further questions when the interviewee answered that he hasn't heard of lists in python?
btw Python's indentation requirement is a difference with C though whether it's a key difference or not is debatable.
- jeffasinger 13y agoGiven all of the differences between Python and C, I don't think it's even debatable whether or not the indentation rules in Python are the key difference. I'd say that typing and interpreted vs compiled are both so much more important.
