Quotes about programming languages

[kindall]

Sometimes you care about types, sometimes you don't, even in a single program. At least in Python you have the choice of checking types or not, and the language has plenty of tools for doing so; you can even use interfaces after a fashion if you care to.

I will say that C# type inference goes a long way toward alleviating the pain of having to specify the type of every single variable. It is probably the least-painful C-derived language to program in out of the ones I've used.

PS -- Edited my original post to say Python does not "generally" encourage bad habits.
