Oh hey, the useless (except for leetcode) language got an update. Yay, maybe more people try to write boring business logic without type safety. Can't wait.
I recently started using Python again for a side project, and I had forgotten how good of a dev experience Python offers. I wish I could explain better than that though.
Part B of that course is about weakly typed languages like Ruby. Your comment is motivating me to go and finish Part B, because I wish I could articulate better what exactly it is that makes weakly typed languages useful in their own right.
Not only is there the type safety issue, the standard testing and ORM libraries are way behind with .NET and Java have. Even Node seems better.
2/ python is type safe, actually
3/ if you need python for leetcode you can’t really look down on anyone
2. Right, at run time. My great-grandma always did say "the best time to catch bugs is in production, use Python sonny".
3. It's not that I need it, it's just that I can't think of any other use for it. Hopefully big data and IoT catches on to the first two points soon enough.
