Most of the code at my current job doesn't even have the optional type annotations. You just see like def something(config). What's config? A dict? A list? A string? Who the fuck knows.

Unfortunately most of the developers seem to have a very pre-modern take on programming and aren't interested in changing anything.

There's a special circle in hell for people who write Python without type annotations.

Dynamic typing is a great feature at times. It's a pain in the butt other times. One of the things I like about Zig is being able to have opt-in comptime dynamic typing. For a certain class of problem it's really nice.
