I'm currently working mostly in C++ and exploring integration with Python through Boost.Python+IPython+MPL. I enjoy working in Python, but I'm afraid of making a more consistent switch mainly for fear of losing the static type checking that C++ gives me. I have the horrifying feeling that if I were to write much code in Python I could break it in so many ways just because of this, and I'd have the constant perception of not having my back covered by the compiler, at least for this kind of errors. It's true that probably I'd get the software up and running in less time with Python, but I think that I would spend much more time making sure it behaves as expected and "fortifying" it, so to speak. Am I totally offset here? Francesco. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
