Review title: Simply wrong
Product review: The author cannot hide his bias towards static typing, and fails to appreciate the power of a dynamic language such as Python. The Python case study (Section 16.3, p. 425) has this criticism:"""The compiler will not reject code that might fail with a type error, nor even code that will certainly fail, such as:def fail(x):... print x+1, x[0]"""In fact it is trivial to implement a class X to create an instance x that can be added to an integer and accessed as a sequence, thanks to basic operator overloading. In order to comment on the design of a language, it is prudent to have more than passing knowledge of its semantics.
