Amusingly for projects of medium complexity, Powershell is probably comparable or better than Python, on Windows, especially for sysadmin type stuff. Powershell actually had optional typing from day 1 but unlike mypy & co, it's actually checked. As in, types were optional, you didn't have to write the down in the code, but if you did add them, using the wrong types would error out. Powershell also has great integration with .NET so almost every .NET library is available if you need it and the deployment story is ok - Powershell needs to be installed and you can bundle everything else you need.
