What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Huh? That's not what happens at all. Python doesn't just mahically create variables for you, you get an undefined reference error like any other sane language.

Ah, ok sure. Every dynamically typed language does that with assignments though, that's kinda the point of dynamic typing. You can use linters to easily catch that kinda stuff though.
