It is not the typing per se. Anecdotally, I started adding types to my python code and it is somewhat useful.

That usefulness is diminished when you are fighting the type system instead of getting things done.

Like when you have to make exceptions in typescript by using Any. Like when an interface for a js library is missing and you don't want to do all that work.

Or when an API returns a field with a different type in between two calls and you have to make exceptions in the code when parsing with jackson in java.

Python’s type system is a particularly bad example. It’s not ergonomic and the type checking is immature.

Not sure what immature or ergonomic means in this context, but I'm pretty sure handling of "private" variables (self._foo) is abysmal.
