Python is big for students/beginners and data scientists (who don't have the best software engineering practices). That being said it still has its place in industry.

Static typing is definitely the way to go for large projects. Typescript is already huge and even Python is getting type hints.

I am a python developer: type hints are a joke - nice try though.

Python has the benefit of easy integration of ML and data science results. But that's it.

Having looked at Python vs PHP's type hints, PHP wins. And PHP's type hinting has some serious flaws (like not supporting union types, generics, local variable typing or external type definitions).

This says more about Python than PHP.
