For example, you will find functions where the runtime value of parameters will change the return type (e.g. you get a list of things instead of one thing). So unless we want to throw out huge amounts of Python libraries (and the libraries are absolutely the best thing Python has going for it) then we have to accept that it’s not a very good statically type language experience.
The JS community on the other hand had adopted TypeScript very widely. JS libraries are often designed with typing in mind, so despite being weakly typed, the static type experience is actually very good.
