Type hints are very helpful on big projects. And are enforced by other tools. Honestly, this kind of criticism shows a lack of experience, and denial of reality for an almost 40 year old language.

It sounds like scoffing at a Silver medalist to me.

In fact, Python is better at what it does than almost anything from the era. That’s why we use it. Nothing is ever going to be perfect because better solutions are emergent, and reverse time travel does not exist.
