Compare Python with other languages - and language bashing :-)

 


Python praise

Typing: Strong vs. Weak, Static vs. Dynamic, and Name-based polymorphism

 

Java bashing

 

Dynamic typing

  •  Dynamic languages put the soft back in software
  • Are Dynamic Languages Going to Replace Static Languages? The more I depended upon the unit tests, the less I depended upon the type safety of Java or C++
  • using a dynamic language - write the main code and the unit tests with less code than it takes to write just the main code in a statically typed language. draw a line between reusable object components/libraries (in statically typed lang) and the glue code that puts the reusable objects together to make them do something useful (which should dynamically typed)
