I never had to worry about types, which let me focus on the problem at hand rather than wrestle with the language and its syntax. This made me much more productive than I was with C and C++. For example, I was able to write a complete VTK documentation browser with GUI and search engine in just 400 lines of code. Flow past a cylindrical post, showing configuratio...
