Recent from Armin Ronacher is worth a read: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2023/12/1/the-python-that-was/
It strikes a note with me, although I don't agree on a couple of points.
Like, "runtime errors flying left and right [..] because bad types were passed". No, most of the errors were and still are from wrong *values* being passed. Also mutable state, tight coupling and incomplete understanding of the domain. Unless your kind of programming is implementing some formal spec, types will only catch the most trivial errors.
