I just submitted my first pull request to an open source project

It's not code. It's for a typo in their documentation.

They had a title that said Funtions, help and contributing instead of Functions, help and contributing. I added an entire freaking letter to their code base.

Still waiting on acceptance. It's been fifteen whole minutes.

Pull request link (I hope)


I'm aware YOU don't care. It's a big damn deal to me and I want to say it somewhere, so I chose one my very low traffic blogs that no one reads instead of, say, announcing it in comments on HN or something like that.

To Python or not to Python?

I've had a lot of people recommend Python to me as a language I should learn. I have just tripped across this comment on HN : Not to be a total smartass, but if your Python codebase is not that big yet, then the correct answer is none of the above- rewrite in a compiled language if you find the lack of static checks disturbing. I have been using "type checked" python for a year and let me tell you, it is not even 10% as good as having a real compiler. Python type checkers are not even close to 100% accuracy. Now I'm wondering if Python is really a good first language to learn or not.
