Yeah, I agree with the claim that this is not in the same realm of readability (seriously, just consider for 10 seconds what an at-scale C++11 codebase looks like versus a scaled up python code base. But I understand why they're different and I can't get enough of the statically typed kool-aid lately.

I am picturing Python drowning in isinstance checks to avoid constant crashing every time a new function is added.
I'm just imagining how many nights in a row I've committed more lines of code than exist in my project in a snapshot because it's so damn confusing, interconnected, and concurrent. The thought of doing it in a dynamic language is downright nauseating.
