I understand what you mean because I come from there (started with PHP and Python more than a decade ago). So maybe it’s just a preference bias on my side but I never thought that a compiler preventing errors added difficulty. On the contrary, I remember that PHP was painful to debug when you sometimes had nothing shown in the browser, no errors at all (tbh, it’s old like maybe PHP 3 or 4) then the same thing happened in JS.

It never happened since I switched to strictly typed langages and tbh, you rarely compile type errors if you have an IDE that shows in bright red that you are wrong.

The few times last years I had to write some Python, I really felt uncomfortable and it was really hard not to make mistakes and not to trust my IDE auto completion.

My brain is now plugged on « if I write something that is not proposed, it must be red ».

But again, I understand your point and maybe it’s just me.

Imho, the type system should either be really strict and strong like in Scala or it should very loose like in TypeScript. Anything in between is just a nuisance.

Btw, there are other tools than compilers that can analyze your code for errors. Try PyCharm
