> Python is not made for this.

Maybe, but there are ungodly big and crufty codebases in Python all around the world, and a lot of stuff depends on them. And it turns out that Python was never meant to be the thing that is being depended on. That's unfortunate. Hence the whole gradual typing (mypy) and other kinds of safety efforts.

You're not forced to use this. But it seems pretty useful, even for scripts.
