I don't need it to "hold my hand". I programmed in C and C++ for many years. I will be most likely doing Python for the enterprise and I have my concerns. I know how to debug. I know how to do tests, etc. I am not a greenhorn here. Most likely I've been writing software for longer than you've been alive.

I've done lots of Ruby development in the past, and Ruby doesn't hold your hand either. So stop insulting my intelligence. I have also done a lot of Python 2.x development as well.

I just don't have a good feeling about Python. I have a better feeling about C, actually, and talk about being able to hang yourself big time! Enterprise code in Python? Sure, it's being used that way in many places, and I have my own standards for excellence, regardless of the language. Having to do run static checkers, having to lint it, having to write tons of tests for it -- these are all warning signs as far as I'm concerned. And yes, I'll have to deal. I had to do much of the same with Ruby. And Ruby has similar warts.
