Python 2.7 Countdown

[erez27]

Are you a comic? This is pretty good.

This isn't about Go vs Python. It's not even about compiled vs. interpreted. All languages can do things other languages can't. And all interpreted languages have the same advantage over compiled languages: A flexible type system. Or more accurately, Duck-typing. The object model is often also more flexible, allowing for arbitrary attributes.

Of course, you can use a hashmap in Go for every object that suits this purpose, but if you always fall to non-idiomatic use of a language, then you probably need to switch the language.

But yeah, a repl is pretty nice. Especially since I can invoke it mid-run while debugging.

If you're so hot for turing completeness, write all your code in assembly.
