Sure it's a matter of personal preference and need.  I happen to find
the expressivity and flexibility of Python (warts and all) to be rather
liberating compared to Java.  I find Java rather stifling particularly
because of the forced OOP structure.

Not really sure what you mean by "rich language."  Java has a rich
runtime library and a rich ecosystem of utility libraries to draw on.
So does C#.  And so does Python.

Never said they were my classes, or even my programs.  What is this
"SOLID" thing?

In any case, partial classes seems like a misfeature of C# to me but
apparently they are used when making Windows Forms GUI-based apps.
Apparently VS autogenerates the class that backs the form, and then the
developer creates a partial class that extends that to flesh out the
logic and handle the events.  I'm surprised you haven't encountered this.

Probably.  But C# developers never do that (nor is it normal to do that
in C++ either).  Not sure what your point is there. I was merely saying
that I now appreciate the logic of the Python explicit self.
