You don’t even need to cast in Python, a reference is a reference.

You know, I always wondered what the original image looked like, and even trusty Know Your Meme doesn’t show it. It looked like this:

Hey at least it’s not JavaScript which is perpetually high on crack with Object object

For our American friends: the Opel Corsa is a car.

In bigger projects, you tend to miss type safety really bad, really fast. Rust has it built in, Python can have it bolted on. That’s simply one of the many aspects to consider when choosing your programming language.

But don’t worry about it too much. If one thing’s for sure, it’s that you will regret that choice in any case.

And that’s why I don’t use Python for anything more than simple scripts

a compile-time error is highly preferable to a run-time error

You wouldn’t typecast a car.

It works and is a pile of jank - Python

It doesn’t work and is a pile of jank - C++

You violated gods laws with how bad your code is and it still runs (right through the wall) - C

Rust is completely correct to be a dick about it as well. Type safety is there for a reason.

C when I cast a char * * to a char * * const: ok

C when I cast a char * * to a char * const *: ok

C when I cast a char * * to a char const * *: WTF

C when I cast a char * * to a char const * const *: ok

Python doesn’t have casts and is strongly typed.

Do we need any more proof Python is superior?
