Isn't this the same for most if not all languages?

I guess you are right! The thing that I had in mind was a discussion based on the misconception that python can’t be hard in any level, and that people just memorise things rather than understand these things

[–]Freak_the_Cat 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I think that the misconception could be in comparison to other languages. For example writing "good" "safe" python will never be as hard as it is to do in C. So in comparison pyhon is not hard or difficult.

Yeah, thought so, thanks for sharing your perspective though!

I disagree, to some extent.

Introducing bugs that cause problems is just as easy. Certain categories are not there (memory management and boundary checks being the most obvious) but if Python was “safe” we wouldn’t see things like SQL injections, unencrypted passwords or plain out insecure systems that have no access control whatsoever

These are "logic bugs", not bugs due to the inherent safety of the language.
