I like using python just cuz I can quickly get it working. I wish I had the time to undust C and try getting that to do what I want but my work cares more about iteration and speed to implement than speed of the program itself.
Dynamic typing is a great feature at times. It’s a pain in the butt other times. One of the things I like about Zig is being able to have opt-in comptime dynamic typing. For a certain class of problem it’s really nice.
Most of the code at my current job doesn’t even have the optional type annotations. You just see like defsomething(config). What’s config? A dict? A list? A string? Who the fuck knows.
Unfortunately most of the developers seem to have a very pre-modern take on programming and aren’t interested in changing anything.

Python has many great aspects, unfortunately it’s missing strong typing.

Good news, everyone!
MyPy - Optional Static Typing for Python
Python is strongly typed, but not statically typed.
You’re right, that’s what I meant
Just type harder lol
Mash that keyboard

Sounds like the Ruby code base at my work
There’s a special circle in hell for people who write Python without type annotations.
LLMs will cure this /s
