It's just that I think there's a legitimate tradeoff between the assurances you can get from a language designed for static analysis and strictness, and the freedom and dynamicness of languages like Python. It's just that I rather like where Python is now on this continuum, and disagree that shifting it is necessarily a good idea. -- [mdw] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
