In monoliths sure, but if you’re building services that are compact and tested it’s less of an issue.

Types are tests run by the compiler. You shouldn't avoid testing, just let the compiler do it for you.

I’m aware. Before Python I wrote primarily in Scala and I do Rust on the side. Good luck hiring at scale for those without either offering a really interesting product to work on or lots of $$$. Even then, still easier to hire for Python.

Just as the other commenter says, types are half the testing done for free which is a massive improvement.
