i haven't gotten so far yet.
and this semester, i won't do everything in parallel.

But I can say that it is very convincing to explain dynamic typing vs.
static typing, and weakly typed vs. stringly typed by contrasting how
things work in python vs how they work in c++.

hm, i'm not an educated teacher, just an assistant professor --
could you please explain to me what "structured education" means? ;-)

Cheers,
Gab.
