> If I could design my perfect language, it would be Python, just with clear variable declarations via a keyword such as `var`, optional true static typing and consts, and better tooling I highly recommend taking a look at F#. It is functional first, but it is multi paradigm in that it supports imperative and OOP programming just as well. You can write code in F# effectively how you’d write code in Python, if you’d like. F# is indentation sensitive, has sane scoping, the dotnet CLI tooling, modules, pattern matching, easy and regular async, scripting, notebooks, static typing with type inference (meaning you don’t need to type annotate everything), etc. I would argue that of everything Python does, F# does it better and more. So if we accept that Python is the second best language at everything, then F# becomes a rather interesting language to consider.
