> At work, we use Python as our interpreted language & Nim as our fast, strongly-typed, compiled language.

You most likely didn't mean to, but your sentence implies that Python is not strongly typed.

Just in case anyone else is tired and drew a blank and needs to google that, the confusion was that of strong vs weak not dynamic vs static. Strong vs weak applies to explict vs implicit type changes. Dynamic vs static applies to run time or compile time type assignment.

Ah yes, good catch. I meant "statically-typed".
