"If you want static typing, you don't choose Python in the first place. You know it beforehand and it shouldn't come as a surprise for you."

People change. Dynamic typing was popular some years ago, but opinions have changed.

Projects change too. What's good for a small project might not be for a big one.

This is weird. It's not a matter of what was popular a few years ago.

Static typing didn't "stop" being popular while dynamic typing "was" popular, nor have opinions "changed". Dynamic and static typing have coexisted almost the entire history of programming and will continue to do so.

And so will the flamewars about them, unfortunately.

That's a non sequitur.

How so? It was directly addressing this:
