C++ creator rebuts White House warning

Don't use Python. You will produce unmaintainable code that will have to be thrown away in 5 years because it is impossible to refactor.

Interesting. Are you sure it's the language and not the programming style? There doesn't seem to be a reason to prevent you from writing maintainable Python code.

Reasonably sure. As soon as one of your dependencies gets a major version bump with incompatible API, the clock starts ticking.

I have no experience with refactoring a Python project. Wouldn’t type hints make it only somewhat more painful than refactoring Rust?
