> (I won't bother explaining the retrospective idiocy of that.) Good, because people have done actual surveys to show there's no real decrease in bugs, and development time suffers: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.11115 It's a trade off like anything else, Python has a lot of scientists who probably love not having to specify types everywhere. Python's best advantage is ease of development - Rust is in _no way_ an alternative in that department. Go would be a better choice. It's biggest issue imo is it's slow, but since people aren't rushing to use mypy and friends, perhaps that's not important…
