Can you point to 3 python foot guns, for instance?
- Mutating default arguments to functions, so subsequent calls have different behavior
- Somewhat particular rules around creating references vs copies
- Things that look like lambda captures but aren’t quite
- Bash: installed everywhere you want to work (yes, who actually wants to work on Windows ;-)
- C/C++: when speed/size matters there was no alternative except Assembly until recently
- Javascript: until recently this was the most sane option for client side code on the web (Active X and Java applets existed yes but managed to be even worse.)
- PHP: Low cost hosting, Function-As-A-Service way before that became popular, shared nothing architecture, instant reload for local development bliss
- cannot know which object attributes are private or public (and some classes use settable properties so you can't say "just don't set any attributes on non-dataclass objects")
