When I worked on OpenStack for a few years, 80% of the bugs I fixed were type errors that could have been prevented by Python being staticly typed.
This describes literally every python contract job I've ever had.
Yeah strong disagree with this meme. 15 years into my career and everything gets a data type.
The only engineers I know who still don't like strong types are engineers who haven't lost a weekend due to a stupid type issue. Once you have one or a few of those, you start to like types again.
I remember a javascript library where the was a function that returned, according to the documentation, "a color". Did it return an object with 3 fields? Were those fields RGB or some other color scheme? Is it a string encoding a color? What format is that string? None of these questions could be answered without just running the code, and analyzing the object you got back.
{ r, g, b}, hex code, rgb encoded in some stupid format, types are just helpful. I don't know why people don't like them. 30 seconds of creating a class for your type saves you hours of debugging later
