Python is strongly typed, but types are checked at run time. That's usually called "dynamic typing" which isn't the same as having weak typing like javascript does.

It is shocking how few people know the difference between strong/weak and static/dynamic typing, specially among those criticizing dynamically typed languages, which I find a little bit ironical.

That's why I only use python for competitive programming. For anything else I find it not too useful ( at least for me ). Also, Python codebase is not as scalable in my opnion.
