Maybe off topic, but I do a lot of ad-hoc python scripts where I drop scripts everywhere in my filesystem, but I need dependencies installed in a virtualenv so my ad-hoc scripts can access them. The problem I'm having is that sometimes things will run for a whole day and then fail at the end because of a typo or something.
I've been looking at other languages to see if there's a language like python but type checked, or some kind of prechecking so I don't lose hours of processing to a print(str+int).
I took a look at Scala but instead of virtualenv style dependency management it's more like maven projects. It has Ammonite where you can declare dependencies at the top of files but that seems kind of hacky.
The other option is Python compile time checks using type hints and mypy, which I think I should eventually learn but haven't gotten around to.
The Lily language looks like the closest thing to "functional type checked python" that I've seen and that's cool.
