> My wages disagree with that statement. But hey, we can't all be 10x.

Just a hint: this screams insecurity.

Wealth does not correlate with knowledge.

Especially since you don't even use type hints, so you have no professional experience with them. Just an ill formed opinion by reading blogs and comments.

> Did it ever occur to you to think about why people use scripting languages or what advantages they have over regular programming languages?

No compilation time? Very complete standard library? Opt-in typing? Good introspection? Numpy?

> Of course not, you are used to statically typed languages and are blinded to the idea that there are other ways to develop software.

I was doing python long before type hints existed, and I assure you they are an advantage. Now, I understand you lack the expertise to realise that. I'm just saying that insulting me won't make you correct.

> I'm guessing you did a search for sources to backup what you are saying and found out pretty quickly that they don't exist.

I did not bother. The fact that microsoft, google and facebook invest money into it is proof enough. You reject it because you're being irrational.

> Static typing in Python is a practice based entirely in common ignorance not reality.

I wish I could sound so bold and certain when being wrong!
