It's not FUD if someone posts an opposing viewpoint. My point was that some of the terminology used in this community is rather disingenuous. Python has a lot of strengths, but let's also be honest about its weaknesses.


So far you haven’t had a good track record of making statements which are factually correct and detailed enough to discuss. If you want to contribute anything of value to the conversation try making a longer comment which explains in detail precisely what you believe is a problem and why it matters so much that you’re willing to accuse a popular open source community of making false claims.

So far I’ve seen one concrete example from you (the SQL/file path one) which is either the same in every other language (if you store them as generic strings) or prevented by Python’s type system (if you use non-generic types).


I posted a link by Professor Robert Harper, I guess you didn't read it. This has been a discussion about terminology, so I'm not sure you can claim anybody is factually incorrect.


That guess would be incorrect. I would suggest that you stop disparaging other people and try to clearly articulate the point you are trying to make in enough detail to be discussed.


As I said, the link I posted contains the detail. If you've read it then perhaps you'd care to comment on it instead of posting successive personal attacks. I suggest that you not take my opinions (or Harpers) so personally.
