If your function is inlined (which happens at compile time), then there won't be any stack growth and the point is moot.

Why would someone use "my girlfriend" as a metaphor in front of a room full of people who have never met her? That is, the difference is nothing.

I am an avid gopher, but this is not a useful response. Believe it or not, there are many places and reasons where Python works out better than Go, and making it a bit easier to use Python in those situations is valuable.

I disagree that heartbleed is an example of not being safer. If everyone's SSL was a closed-source library, then we would be considerably less safe. But to carry the analogy to a closed-source web site that you just connect to, as is t

But if the code you have is the same as the code millions of other people have, it's safer to give it the benefit of the doubt than a single server than only a handful of people have access to.

I'm addressing malice, not oversight. The SHA allows you to be confident that you've got the same code as everyone else.

Giving the benefit of the doubt to the gazillion lines of code running on your computer, that you and several million other people downloaded from the same place, with verified SHA sums, is actually pretty reasonable. If you're truly p
