It's so awful it made its creator declare: "There are only two kinds of
languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses."
If LISP has been able to include oriented object programming nicely,
adding oriented object programming in C without breaking compatibility
didn't worked that well.

From what I saw, for a beginner's approach, python is easier than Java
or C++. Now when one starts to use python in the real life, the
complexity of python appears. Because that's the python way: things
works except when they stop to work.
Like, it's not a typed language but start playing with dictionaries
without declaring your variables first to see how the claims stand
before the facts.
Or you want to see what's in some variables, so you print it with
print(myvariable)
When you start to have too many variables, you want to put the name of
the variable in front of it to increase its visibility, so you
print("myvariable: " + myvariable)
but that doesn't work because myvariable is not a string. So you have to
print("myvariable: " + str(myvariable))
But now you have the description of myvariable (or something like that:
I discovered it a long time ago, my memory isn't clear about it), not
its content, so you have to handle it differently (about that, I'm sure).
And I'm not speaking about the dependencies. Each version breaks
everything so well that now some distros don't let you install libraries
with pip if you are not in a virtual environment.
So, yes to do something simple, python is fast and easy. But if you want
to power of C++ and Java, you can't use python on a simple way.

Python is absolutely a typed language. Every object has a type and it
won’t let you use objects in a manner incompatible with their type:
>>> 0+""
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<python-input-0>", line 1, in <module>
0+""
~^~~
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'
Historically it was not a statically typed language, i.e. type errors
only arose at runtime.
Today even that is not really true, in the sense that if you want it to
be statically typed then you can have that:
$ cat -n junk/t.py
1 #!/usr/bin/python3
2 def f(a: int, b: int) -> int:
3 return a+b
4 print(f(0, 0))
5 print(f(0, ""))
$ mypy junk/t.py
junk/t.py:5: error: Argument 2 to "f" has incompatible type "str"; expected "int" [arg-type]
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)

It sounds like you just haven’t learned Python.

We make extensive use of Python, apart from some performance issues
(exacerbated by the not particularly speedy SoC it runs on) it’s not
really problematic.

Much of my use was with Esri after they went to Python from VBA. The downside was Esri clung to 2.7 until their 11.0 release. Installing ArcDesktop also installed Python 2.7 with their modules. https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-python-libraries/ libraries/arcpy

You know, when you’re not sure how to go about something, and are just experimenting. A good environment for experimenting with Python is Jupyter <https://jupyter.org/>. This gives you a notebook-type interface which is convenient for “scratchpad” programming.

My first impulse was to use C but I'm trying to improve my general Python skills. The JavaScript part came later when I used the leaflet.js library to create a map to display the GeoJSON. Unfortunately leaflet traditionally used tiles from the OSM server. In the last month or so they've started enforcing an obscure header in the request so the tiles you get are basically '403 FOAD'

Still, typed doesn’t mean complete immiscibility of types (at least in
Python), and a good thing too, since lots of operations take operands of
different types. For example if d is an int and G is a Python object
representing a point on an elliptic curve, I want to be able to write
d*G, not mess around with function calls to do point multiplication.

I've been trying to get up to speed with type hints. Like 'private' functions in Python they seem to depend on a gentleman's agreement not to do bad things. Like TypeScript it helps but still has loopholes.

They are hints, so yes and no: if you run the code first through mypy or pyrefly (which I prefer) and it doesn't pass just don't run it. That's not really a loophole. -- Static tumblelog generator: https://github.com/john-bokma/tumblelog/ Available as Python or Perl. Example tumblelog: https://plurrrr.com/

How strictly it’s enforced is a higher-level question. If you deploy and run Python code indiscriminately then it’s not enforced at all. If you insist on a `mypy --strict` pass somewhere in your build chain then it’s pretty solidly enforced. Much the same is true for code quality filters in other languages. In any language you might insist on some or all of unit test passes, a code coverage threshold, static analysis, AI review, human review etc before deployment. In some languages (e.g. C and C++) you choose which set of compiler warnings to enable and which of them should be errors. It’s all “gentleman’s agreement” if you want to characterize it that way, with relatively few exceptions none of this stuff is unavoidably enforced by the language implementation. -- https://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/

In this case python is a strongly typed language and in other cases it's
not that important.
With some typed languages, you can't use a variable if you didn't
declare it's type before. With python, you don't need to declare
integers and strings but you need to declare dictionaries. Why? Don't
know.

You are right, I haven't learned python. I'm not a programmer. I'm using
programs written by others and sometimes, I have to change them. I don't
have time to learn a programming language when I need to fix a program.
I have to make it run as expected and move on once I get the expected
result.
With python, that looks easy and when I fix something, it breaks
something else for reasons I don't understand. Because the issue was
already there but it wasn't important, until it started to be important
after I changed something else.
And so, for me it always looks like in python things work in a way until
they stop working for unobvious reasons.
With other programming languages I saw, either that works or that
doesn't, but I never saw something that stops working when it starts to
be more complex. It looks like it's a python specialty.

Examples:
Explain as a professional Python programmer why 1+True yields 2 and is valid
Thought for 3s
In Python, bool is a subclass of int . The two Boolean values behave
numerically as False == 0 and True == 1 , so adding True to 1 is
equivalent to 1 + 1 :
1 + True # 2
type(1 + True) # int
It’s valid because Python’s numeric operations accept Boolean values as
integers. In application code, though, it’s usually clearer to convert
or count explicitly if you intend to use a Boolean as a number.
Why do I have to declare dictionaries but can use integers and strings
without declaring their type
Thought for 2s
In Python, you don’t have to declare a dictionary’s type. Python is
dynamically typed: a variable name refers to an object, and the object
carries its type.
count = 3 # creates an int object
message = "hello" # creates a str object
settings = {} # creates a dict object
Integers and strings have compact literal syntax ( 3 , "hello" );
dictionaries use {} or key-value pairs, such as {"theme": "dark"} .
That’s creating a dictionary, not declaring its type.
Type annotations are optional and mainly help readers and
static-analysis tools:
settings: dict[str, str] = {}
Can't recommend Copilot enough.

With Booleans the + operator ought to be an OR function so TRUE + TRUE = TRUE -- “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.” – H. L. Mencken

So, I assumed, maybe wrongly, that assigning an empty value was declaring it, maybe there are some subtleties. >> With python, that looks easy and when I fix something, it breaks >> something else for reasons I don't understand. > > I recommend to install Copilot CLI on your system and ask it to explain > why your script breaks.
