Listen to Uche Ogbuji:  "Type errors are not even close to the majority
of those I make while programming in Python, and I'm quite certain that
the code I've written in Python is much less buggy than code I've written
in strongly-typed languages.  Expressiveness, IMO, is a far better aid to
correctness than artificial restrictions (see Java for the example of
school-marm programming gone amok)."
