Agreed. I have seen a lot of Python code that was really painful to massage back into a more structured object hierarchy. Java certainly does a bit better in that respect, and as a language, it does a much better job of encouraging better practices, but I think it’s also largely due to the kinds of people that use those languages as well.
So can assembly. But it takes a tremendous amount of discipline.
Python’s curse is that it’s popular with “newbs” who think it’s okay to use dictionaries for everything and that type hints are “clutter”.
