Ok. If I'm the maintainer receiving death threats over that, I'd tell them they would get the $10 dollars back, plus some extra money for their troubles. Location of the envelope with the money: the same police station where I&#x2

So, you are all pissy and judgemental against Python claiming the issue is with its type system without looking at other widely popular languages that has stricter type checking? Really?!
