C and C++ are weakly and statically typed languages. Python is a
strongly and dynamically typed language. Therefore anything following
based on the above paragraph alone is wrong.
Indeed. I confused strongly/weakly with static. I feel a a bit
embarrased by it. My apologies.
Accepted, from me anyhow. Please remember the only person who never
makes a mistake never does anything :)
But no. Nothing that follows from that paragraph is wrong, just because
of that mistake.
I should have emphasied the word *alone*, sorry about that.
It still stands that list was artifically created to make it look like
type annotations on top of executable code is a feature of nearly every
language in the book. When it is not!
Most particularly when it comes to statically typed languages, wich
Steven didn't feel guilty of including there.
I don't know enough about most other languages to comment, I'll leave
that to the various gurus.
