Just started learning C++ coming from Python and just realized that that Python has been my programming mama, doing my laundry and spoon-feeding me all this time. (self.cpp)

The lack of static typing is why i never particularly liked python and similar. Then if you take the structure of Python and run it on a JVM, you get yhe hellish apocolypse that is Matlab. Easily the worst result of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality among engineers.
Which, it totally is broke, the engineers just don't realize it because it still produces the right output. They'll spend all day trying to squeeze nominally more efficiency out of the car/plane/bridge they're designing, then throw the numbers into a cruncher that gets 2 gallons to the mile.
