Ooo ooo, can we remove it?
No :-)
I have a hard time believing that Python and Ruby are more productive
primarily because they do not have an unsigned type.
They're more productive because their built in number types aren't
fixnums. That's a nice large class of errors that don't exist in those
languages.
Like I said, this didn't appear in Python until quite recently (3.0), so that
cannot be the primary productivity advantage of Python.
