Dynamically typed/interpreted language?
I've never understood why so many languages insist on a feature that causes such a obtuse and tedious programming experience.
Python is great, until you don't remember a function call, and can't guess using your LSP to tell you. :/
Time to delivery is important. Moving quickly withing a language and frameworks that prioritise speed over safety gets a product out the door is important when testing whether a business idea holds merit. Once you're established with a better scope of the project you should be rewriting this in a static language.
Dynamically typed interpreted languages should never be used for long term support imo
Or bolt MyPy to it, right?
Edit: Wow. Somebody out there has no sense of humor about their bolt-on type solution.
Hey its better than nothing? Haha
If performance isn't an issue, I'd take it over nothing for long term support
Yeah. I live to make fun of MyPy - or rather of Python for needing MyPy, but it's "good enough" in many situations.
