    I love how even if you go out of your way to type hint variables the runtime won't even tell you if it's not according to your type hints :blob-no-thoughts:

    they're like 'type hints? oh, fancy comments' :blob-no-thoughts:

        I LOVE DYNAMIC TYPING :hypersus: I LOVE DEBUGGING RUNTIME ERRORS :torment:

          you have two choices:

          1. the compiler goes "good job dipshit, you fucked it" for 2 hours until it allows you to run code
          2. the interpreter goes "looks good to me" and then immediately explodes for 2 hours until you figure it out

            9/10 times i vastly prefer the former because when my computer yells at me for being a stupid fuck it's because i'm being a stupid fuck and that's valid to yell at me about :blob-no-thoughts:

            and the 1/10 times i'm just scripting and don't really care if I'm fucking shit up because i'm only telling it to modify, like, my clipboard or something. but, like, that's what bash is for

            Nah if it takes you 2 hours just to get your code to compile, I promise you it'll take at least 4 to get it running correctly in an interpreted language. And you better hope that your test cases cover all paths and you don't have any runtime errors lurking that you just didn't notice.

              with "for 2 hours" i meant that you continually recompile until it works, not that it takes you 2 hours to compile it

                not that it takes you 2 hours to compile it

                Insert your favourite C++ joke here.

      I use dataclasses and NamedTuples a lot because they actually do runtime type checking

      I know "just add another tool to your toolchain" isn't a great solution but mypy slaps and has IDE/editor plugins
