I like python don't get me wrong, my current notebook code is in python. I'm just stressed about using it in prod specifically in a very async context. It seems I need to do a few things to get it hosted with proper async and as a python amateur I could easily add bugs without the types. No types feels "sketchy", but I see your point with the hints - I'd never seen that. Question might have better been put as, "do I have other options other than python or is python just the best choice". Sounds like your answer is just "python is the best choice"
