I've always hated Python. Could never enjoy it at all. Pretty much the same poor DX as PHP, Javascript, Ruby, etc.

Finally set up neovim with pyright; use types on every single fucking thing, and now I love Python[1].

Can't wait to see TC39 become a reality (learned about it just this past week on HN, actually). Maybe I'll enjoy Javascript too.

[1] Within reason; the packaging experience is still extremely poor!

Didn't get the bit about TC39 - it is just a group. It has nothing to do with types in JS.

I've never seen types used correctly in Python. A `tuple` is not even a type! It's a type constructor!
