Re: implicit variables, I understand there are environments where "use strict" is not an option. As someone working in Perl heavy shops for about 10 years, I hardly see any Perl program that does not use strict.

Now, Python on the other hand...

Strict does not forbid implicit variables.

It fixes a hole lot of more important problems, but it's mostly aimed at problems that will make your code misbehave, not the ones that will make it hard to read.
