C++: "Hey, what's your name?"
Python: *grabs C++* "what is my name?"
please explain I want to laugh
Pythons weak typing means it never knows what is what. It’s up to the programmer to not screw it up.
I think it's more that a ton of popular python libraries (things like pandas, tensor, etc) are actually built in C, so python is just C wearing a mask
Not just libraries, the entire language itself is actually C under the hood
