Python is great for what it is, but the best language developed in your lifetime? Its type system is janky and bolted on. A good type system is one of the main things I look for to call a programming language great.

It’s a scripting language, its typing system is more than adequate.

It's my favorite scripting language, but far from my favorite language overall.

I've got to disagree

Go check C# or Typescript and then come back.

When you're being compared to typescript, you know you're not the best language.

Typescript is amazing dude.

Our tech stack is C# .net, typescript and SQL with a GraphQL wrapper.
