Im surprised to see Python in that list. Swift being type safe and Python not puts Swift miles ahead.

  One of those awkward things where I don't like it, and wouldn't go back to nulls that blow up. But as far as being the right tool/accessible it ended up winning use cases where I expected scripting and Playgrounds to have mindshare

    Playgrounds is so painfully slow that you can't really "play" with it at all.

    Mypy is non-nullable, as far as I know. Unless you do Type | None. (Or was it TS?)

  Python has Mypy (yes, it’s good enough, don’t bother arguing with me that’s it’s not “real”) and ecosystem is leagues above anything Swift can offer.

  Python is the new Perl. Heck its the lingua franca of ML / AI and has been for data science for a while. Dynamic types dont mean you cannot compete with a typed language. Python has type hints which gives the benefit people are usually after, catching bugs / issues ahead of time. Theres a library for just about everything in Python. I dont know that I can say that about Swift.
