    But it is in no way worse than javascript in that regard, though?

    No, but OPs original post was implying that it was better than JavaScript, when in my mind they’re pretty similar in that regard, with the major exception that there is no python equivalent of Typescript which is rapidly passing JavaScript in professional settings.

    I don’t think static typing in Python is really so essential. I see it above all as a scripting language, so its applications don’t benefit as much from static typing as other languages do.

    For a scripting language it’s fine, but problems arise when you start building giant applications with it (which does happen).
