> Because tbh, even with type hints Python is a lousy programming language (but a fine scripting language).

I'd be interested in seeing you expand on this, explaining the ways you feel Python doesn't make the cut for programming language while doing so for scripting.

The reason I say this is because, intuitively, I've felt this way for quite some time but I am unable to properly articulate why, other than "I don't want all my type errors to show up at runtime only!"
