this resonates with me.. I fell in love with python because it made it really easy to write 100 to 1000 like I scripts that I could whip out in no time and make something happen. I still love it for that. But I fell out of love with it working on a large codebase -- mostly someone else's code -- where I felt imprisoned by not knowing the types of most function parameters, what I could do with those types, and what code I could change without breaking other code. The lack of ability to navigate in the way that I can navigate C# or Java killed python for me

I still have to use python though. I make an effort to type-annotate everything I see, and python's type annotation features keep improving, but it still often feels like an awkward uphill battle
