I do write Python code used in production, but does that doesn't make it serious production software.

It takes a lot of effort to make a Python program not break on some inputs, so it's not really fire and forget like it is with C++. It's possible but it requires many more iterations.



> ...so it's not really fire and forget like it is with C++.

Seriously questionable assertion to my eyes. Maybe I just haven't used C++ in way too long to appreciate that it's true. I have heard lots of people say that modern C++ is really great.


Fire and forget? I am not gonna even bother to list all the "modern" software in C++ with serious bugs or security defects...
