Subject: Dr. Dobb’s Python-URL! – weekly Python news and links (Mar
19)
Listen to Uche Ogbuji: “Type errors are not even close to the
majority of those I make while programming in Python, and I’m quite
certain that the code I’ve written in Python is much less buggy
than code I’ve written in strongly-typed languages. Expressiveness,
IMO, is a far better aid to correctness than artificial
restrictions (see Java for the example of school-marm programming
gone amok).”
