I don't agree that dynamic nature makes things necessarily faster, if you compare Python to C or Java it is true, but if you compare to Typescript it is not. With a decent typing system and a good editor that makes use of it (and AI-assistants nowadays) the prototyping can actually be both faster and more stable.

Yes, I 100% agree. My career has been Java/C++ -> php/JavaScript -> typescript/python. Types are a godsend

I think davedx was being sarcastic. Python's dynamic nature cost them time.
