Why Python is Slow: Looking Under the Hood

I'm definitely a fan of Python's strategy. It's much better at detecting bugs early and often. That, and there's a distinction in Python between identity and equality, with the `is` and `==` operators respectively.

Frankly, I think Perl has the best approach to this specific problem. We all want to do some string concatenation. We all want to render some non-string values as strings sometimes. So:

    1 + 0 = 1
    1 . 0 = 10

Just stop using + to concatenate strings.
