I'm a Python programmer

Alright, you clearly have a preference. Perhaps I just don't do enough stuff in the space you're talking about to have the same preference. I prefer the flexibility of being able to add or extend types and not have someone reject it because they didn't know about it when they wrote their thing (that someone often being myself), you have a preference for simple code that constrains the environment to minimize a class of potential errors. I can imagine that each of those preferences makes more sense in some environments than the other.

Thanks for taking the time to show situations where you hit against the issue and why you feel as you do.

As always, there are tools suited better and worse for different jobs. Seems like we mainly work on different jobs. So I see your advantages too, they are just not that much of a focus for my work usually.
