- dragonwriter 12y agoYeah, while snarkily made its a good point that Erlang does make use of it without being statically typed. There is a deep difference that goes beyond use of tuples in language approach between Python and Erlang here where it comes to types in which Erlang, while dynamically typed, has a deep concern for types in its pattern matching system to make path decisions while Python is very much centered on using dynamic OO techniques -- how objects respond to messages -- to do that. So I'd still say its the same kind of deep language approach difference at work.
