    Normally I'd be excited that Python had a new release with lots of new features... but no longer. Ruby has stolen my heart.

    It seems to me that its too easy to make a mistake when your projects get large.

    Let it go, man. Go ahead and make the mistake. Run your program. It will show you a stack frame dump and you'll have the problem fixed in 15 seconds. Life's too short obsess over parameter types.

    Python, Perl, Ruby, etc. have huge library collections that are easier to use and understand than most of those from strongly typed languages. Lack of strong typing is not holding them back. (You won't find many unchecked buffers, either.)
