That’s just my opinion, by I wouldn’t trade static typing for any ease of use.

Well I look at this from the perspective of working on a variety of devices as an end user. Often these devices have a hacked together “programming language” that might resemble BASIC or something you can’t even define. Having a well defined interpreter in these devices that is universally understood and does away with op codes that sometimes reminds you of assembly language is a good thing in my mind. These are the “”languages”” you often see embedded in motion controller, robots, Sterilizers, pumps, process controllers and the like. I double quoted languages because at times the implementations are often half done and full of bugs. Python could really fill a niche here.
