    Rust is completely correct to be a dick about it as well. Type safety is there for a reason.

    It works and is a pile of jank - Python

    It doesn’t work and is a pile of jank - C++

    You violated gods laws with how bad your code is and it still runs (right through the wall) - C

    In bigger projects, you tend to miss type safety really bad, really fast. Rust has it built in, Python can have it bolted on. That’s simply one of the many aspects to consider when choosing your programming language.

    But don’t worry about it too much. If one thing’s for sure, it’s that you will regret that choice in any case.

      Yeah I usually love Python but right now I’m working on a paid project where I need to deal with tasks that are critical to mostly work on first try. Now, if it would be a different matter if my code was just completely idiotic and still worked but Python doesn’t error even when there is obvious typo that any statically compiled language could’ve picked up on a breeze at compile time.

      I am scared to even implement a better logging system in my program because sometimes I forget to sanitize the arguments and my program fucking crashes at runtime because I added a new fucking logging statement.

      I so fucking wish I had static type checking right now. The libraries I am using doesn’t have types (via annotations) so unless I spend days fixing their shit, I will have to continue with these shitty runtime crashes for the shittiest small mistakes. I also can’t trust these annotations because even if they are “wrong” their code coul perfectly work fine and they could even ship the wrong types. I would have the burden of dealing with their shitty annotations if that happens.

    Do we need any more proof Python is superior?

    (I’m ^joking, ^I ^love ^Rust)
