Type hints are very helpful on big projects. And are enforced by other tools. Honestly, this kind of criticism shows a lack of experience, and denial of reality for an almost 40 year old language.
It sounds like scoffing at a Silver medalist to me.
In fact, Python is better at what it does than almost anything from the era. That’s why we use it. Nothing is ever going to be perfect because better solutions are emergent, and reverse time travel does not exist.

Okay that's where you lost me. You can talk about the language from your perspective, and like I said we can agree to disagree, but it crosses a line when you want to comment on others' experience and put them down just because they disagree with you. No on is scoffing here, what I wrote was a considered criticism. Have a nice day.
It’s about as near a well-documented fact as there is in this industry, and not intended to be an insult. Sometimes we need a wake-up call, and yes they’re not usually enjoyable. I know as well as anyone else, having received my share over the years.
