They all provide safety, but also place a burden on the developer. So why use Python? I’m not arguing that all those features don’t have their advantages, but I am wondering why add them all to Python, rather than using a language designed for safety? But Python has such a great ecosystem of packages! Yes, it does — but you might ask yourself why that is. All that being said — do go and make a nice DbC package for Python — maybe all us naysayers will grow to love it! But could we please stop cluttering this list with discussion of how great or not great it is? These meta-conversations are getting really tiresome. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
