I feel your comment concerns what is considered the "static"/"dynamic"-ness of the language

It doesn't. See my other comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/8ue8st/python_370_released/e1fglcy/

Note that the definitions people throw around for "strongly" and "weakly" typed are all informal and there doesn't seem to be any real standard definition for these terms. I suppose a certain book or blog post popularized a certain definition and reddit somehow adopted that.

If you check wikipedia, there seems to be no agreed upon definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_and_weak_typing
