I haven't used CL myself, but it wouldn't surprise me if CL does a better job. Just pointing out that Python is significantly better in this respect than it used to be. In particular, using VS Code with Pylance, I can see type errors highlighted as soon as I write the code---I don't even need to use a keystroke. 24 years ago, I don't think anything like that was possible; the language didn't even support type annotations.
