Stringly typed functions frustrate me to no end. Tooling for programming gets better every year, yet stringly typed code is so resistant to any of those improvements. Pycharm at some point had to add SQL tools in python strings for gods sake. That kind of weird deep special casing is everywhere with strings drive behavior. Why use a class (inspectable) when a dictionary, a function, and an if statement (opaque) will do?


I think they implemented a generic nested language framework (whose real name eludes me).
