I've spent a lot of time fixing/explaining python exceptions over the years, and I get pretty annoyed when I encounter bare exceptions. Exceptions themselves are so often misunderstood, it seems most people just take them at face value. However, do we really need to dull all the sharp edges and add guardrails to every fucking thing? In a corporate environment, sure, you can implement all the protections you like _without attempting to force your constraints on all users_.If you care about types, safety, etc. there are plenty of fantastic projects that share your priorities, but they don't need to bleed into everything under the sun.
Sharing and adopting new ideas is healthy, but homogenization kills creativity.
Maybe I'm just grumpy today.
