Typescript/JavaScript has many of these properties except for GIL and maybe not typically interpreted. That means not a real language? Ruby also has a GIL. I don’t even know what “proper package management” means in this context. Certainly there’s an official package management system and modules. C++ doesn’t have the latter (very fragmented user efforts and not commonly used in my experience) and barely the former (no adoption). So that means C++ isn’t a real language? Python does have type checking by the way. Same as TypeScript - you annotate your types and you can run a program to verify your annotations. This is basically how TypeScript works although the typing in the latter is more mature by way of @types packages to let the community supplement adding typing information to third party packages. There’s no relation between the two so it’s not sound (in both cases), but in practice it’s quite useful. Anyway, it’s a no true Scotsman argument.
