I'm still perplexed as to why beginning programmers prefer python rather than static type languages. Just yesterday I had to fix 2 weird bugs because python turned an int into a float and vice versa, and I'm positive that a beginner would never have found the bugs.

Does "without having to worry" mean "with mystery bugs that I just gave up on"? Because that's how I would feel if I had started with python I think
With a strict language you don't have mysteries, it's safe for beginners.
Py's strict on useless things like indentation tho...
omg exactly this. You’re just delaying the inevitable going from compiler caught issues to runtime errors when you let users trip over their own two feet with types. It’s truly a “false economy”.
