    See your problem is you’re editing the code until it passes the tests. It’s way easier if you edit the tests until it passes the code.

      Can’t tell if you are joking. I know a lot of junior developers who think this is a legitimate solution.

      Unless you are using groovy (jenkins), then you are running the pipeline to find syntax errors.

        I hate groovy, gradle and Jenkins!

              If you don’t think Python is a good scripting language, what is a good scripting language in your opinion? Bourne Shell? VBScript? PHP?

                I like python and if you use typing it is awesome.

                I like kotlin script too. But normal languages are better than scripting languages usually.

                  Typing in python leaves a lot to be desired… Being looking at peps for quite some time, but it’s really hard for the language to make progress without breaking compatibility.

                  Hopefully at some point MOJO becomes mature enough to use in a professional setting.
