It's also in the Wikipedia page about python that it is not a "weakly typed" language. It's literally in the resume box in the corner : "Typing discipline : Duck, dynamic, strong".

Edit: I was going to mention the author's confusion, but OP did it in their edit.

Edit 2: The author is "Staff Software Engineer at Tesla" ? And he doesn't know C pointers ?

It's worse than I thought. If you see my edit, I found that the author used their complete ignorance of the (strong/weak)/(static/dynamic) distinction to invent a claim of willful misdirection on the part of the Python community. Not only did they not do their homework on the topic, but they tried to portray people in a negative light to further their narrative. I find that incredibly dishonest.
