You fundamentally cannot build a statically typed variant of Python without cutting portions of the stdlib, most notably `mock.patch`. You could do a good majority of it, probably enough to be completely usable, but at what point does it stop being Python? Go use Nim if you want statically typed Python-ish syntax.
- adsharma 5y agopy2many transpiles py3 to nim. Think of python as a way to interpret nim code if you like, with a large installed base of existing libraries. There is demand for iterative creation of software: first get the logic out with the least friction and then think about types, resource leaks, good software engineering practices etc.
