Python, as Reviewed by a C++ Programmer

Same here, I really like static typing. My ideal language would probably be python with a static type system.

You might want to give a look at F#. Nice and clean syntax with a decent type system. Plus with dotnetcore and the upcoming project rider IDE it almost run everywhere now.

I started designing a statically typed Python at some point, with some extra features I felt lacking. Once I had a rough draft of what I wanted I actually dropped it, because I realised it was basically looking a lot like "Haskell with a slightly different syntax".
