   I'll bite, @seungjin, since static typing is not done at run time, it doesn't matter if it's done by the implementation (compiler/interpreter) or a third party, but that's beside the point.

   Although I like both Go and Python for their large standard libraries and use them for numerous side projects, I wouldn't say their development experiences are interchangeable. The two languages handle errors, resource lifetime, meta programming and concurrency in fundamentally different ways (say, Zig is much closer to Python in philosophy TBH). It's more pleasurable to implement certain things in Python and vice versa.

   In reality, however, I'd assume most software is written in whatever language management tells developers to.

     Python syntax has changed a lot since I moved to Rust. Now, Python code can show types, even though the compiler doesn’t actually use them. If developers really want to use types, even if the compiler simply ignores them, why don’t they just use Go instead? #python #golang
