> Python has problems scaling to medium-size code bases because programs above a certain size tend to become difficult to reason about. This is not a performance issue, and it’s the #1 issue that I choose to rewrite Python programs in other languages. Python type annotations help. I think you're spot on. Is some ways, it is a tooling problem, as type annotations require mypy (or some other type checker), and enforcement via e.g. CI. Crucially, retrofitting them to a codebase is a difficult and tedious problem. On the other hand, it's relatively easy to do for new projects, but so is choosing a different language. |
