Indeed, I'm not a regular Python practitioner. I had to use it from time to time because it's the language chosen by the tools I happened to use at that time, like Blender, or Django. In the former case, it wasn't very enjoyable (which says a lot about my skills in that area, or rather lack thereof), while in the latter case I found it quite likeable. So that's my background as far as python goes.

I must admit that I largely prefer static typing, which is why I got interested in that article. It's true that trying to shoehorn this feature in the Python ecosystem is an uphill battle: there's a lot of good engineering skill spent on this.

Perhaps there's a connection to make between this situation and an old theorem about incompleteness?
