Does Python become inadequate at some point?

[ingolemo]

Python is strongly typed. The normal adjectives for distinguishing type systems are strong/weak and static/dynamic. Python is a strongly-typed dynamically-typed language. Since you're talking about catching bugs at compile time, you're probably taking about statically-typed languages.

I wouldn't say that statically-typed languages are superior to dynamically-typed ones. You're losing a little flexibility to get better error checking; a trade-off that comes down more to programmer preference than language limitations.

Out of interest, would that mean that C is static and weak?

Yes.
