I feel like as a scripting language Python excels. Glad to have this PEP, but it would be more pythonic have except be optional.

The reason I pick up Python for projects is because it grows with the application; opportunities to add typing etc. Who knows maybe in a few years Python will enforce all the types and it will be as verbose as Java. Personally I’d like to see how they handle declaring a method or function throws exceptions.

Pretty narly we have compiled Python apps with poetry, it’s starting to punch out of its weight class.
