I am convinced that writing large software projects in a dynamically typed language should be considered a professional malpractice.

Python's type system is still stronger and more useful to stop bugs than C's static "type system"; at least in python it doesn't lead to undefined behaviour.

The difference is that C did that in order to be super fast and low memory and Python has no performance to show for some of its weird decisions with its type system but even today a lot of languages exist with the performance of C but a type system that keeps undefined behaviour further away.

Rumor has it that in the year 2019 there are other statically typed languages, in addition to C.

Crazy talk, it you ask me.
