I agree with the sentiment that these reasons are terrible.
My main gripes:
- the half hearted take on static types
- excessive use of mutability and imperative programming
- dependency, version management and compatibility.
For this last one. Are there recommended best practices? I noticed that pip recently added a “constraints” file option which seems like it’s going towards at least the lock file level of guarantees that node has. Or do people still recommend using a separate manager (conda/miniconda).
