"Hardware cycles are cheap. Wetware cycles are expensive."

Paraphrased from something I once heard Jacob Kaplan-Moss say but don't remember his exact wording at PyCon many moons ago.

Then why do Python people insist on having the programmer do so much stuff instead of letting a compiler do it?

Verifying that your different pieces of code actually work together. With a static type system and similar compiler features you can lighten the mental load a lot compared to languages like Python where you need to keep it all in your head.
