upset 

see i'm not usually the kind of person to have strong opinions on compiled vs interpreted languages (i enjoy using both kinds, mostly)

but holy shit
sometimes it is Not Good that python doesn't let me know about obvious errors until it actually runs the code that will error

imagine spending 1.5h downloading posts just to find out that "pleroma" is an undefined variable at the end of program runtime and it wrote literally nothing to the database

yeah

@AgathaSorceress Most any language can be run as a compiled or interpreted language. So to me it makes little sense to refer to a language by that classification. It tends to start out as one or the other at best.

@AgathaSorceress Also what you describe about python not telling you about errors until its run, that has nothing to do with interprited vs compiled. There are many reasons for that but you are probably thinking of dynamically typed vs statically typed languages.
