Sure it's a matter of personal preference and need. I happen to find the expressivity and flexibility of Python (warts and all) to be rather liberating compared to Java. I find Java rather stifling particularly because of the forced OOP structure. Not really sure what you mean by "rich language." Java has a rich runtime library and a rich ecosystem of utility libraries to draw on. So does C#. And so does Python. > Sorry, sounds like you need to learn SOLID, none of my classes > have ever taken this form. Never said they were my classes, or even my programs. What is this "SOLID" thing? In any case, partial classes seems like a misfeature of C# to me but apparently they are used when making Windows Forms GUI-based apps. Apparently VS autogenerates the class that backs the form, and then the developer creates a partial class that extends that to flesh out the logic and handle the events. I'm surprised you haven't encountered this. >> Makes the code much harder to follow from a human point of view.

But C# developers never do that (nor is it normal to do that in C++ either). Not sure what your point is there. I was merely saying that I now appreciate the logic of the Python explicit self. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
