While 25 years ago I adopted the Hungarian notation that was promoted in Codebook, when I left the Fox world I found that no one else used it. My early Python code used it, and reading it now it seems kind of silly. Using a clear variable name is all that I need now.

Also, “strongly-typed language” is not the same as statically-typed, which is probably what the author meant. Python is strongly-typed, meaning that a statement like:

x = 1 + “0”

will raise an exception.
