For sure, if I’m writing a short script, no more than ~200 LOC, Python (without type hints) is my favourite language. But for a sizeable codebase, worked on by multiple devs or even just me over time, I’ve got an extremely strong preference for static types. Also, FWIW, TypeScript is the most “lightweight” statically typed language I’ve ever used, in terms of extra ceremony/lines of code over a dynamic language. Once you get used to its type system, and embrace the structural typing ideas, I feel the overhead is super minimal. It might slow me down by ~5% on a short script over JavaScript, while dramatically improving maintainability as a codebase grows. |
