alt Hacker Newsjs is a web scripting language that can be strong-armed into running scripts through a runtime.
Python is a general development language that can be used to build servers and web pages, but does a lot more besides.
They're not really comparable.
Having said that - I wouldn't be surprised if Python drifts towards stronger typing, although it will probably remain optional.

Nowadays a lot of web servers are written in js, for better or worse
To what extent do you see Python drifting toward stronger typing? I ask because after 10 years without touching a single line of Python, I recently worked on a Python code base and I was very positively surprised by the static typing that's available in the language now. Not even necessary to to reach for additional tooling like JS and TS.
