don't think so but ehy...
pip is the bane of my existence
Also python IS loosely typed. take a str and you can reassign it to an int or whatever
Yep last time I tried python, it's type checker was so, so much worse than typescript.
Everyone I've met saying python is better turned out not have used modern JavaScript/typescript.
I'm sure that's the case, but the meme is not making fun of typescript, its making fun of his dad: JavaScript, maybe for not comparing to his son: typescript
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Python is strongly typed. What is is is dynamically typed, also known as "duck typing".
Strong typing doesn't have a widely agreed upon definition. Duck typing is not equivalent to dynamic typing.
You're right about python being the same. Python doesn't have a mature alternative to Typescript that launches it into having best-in-class type handling.
There's so much that my C# devs can't do with its horrible type system that Typescript "just does better". At compile-time at least.
I used to work on a hybrid typescript/python product (some services js, some TS, some python), and the TS stuff was just faster-running, easier to iterate, and better. And story-point allocations consistently showed that for an excess of 20 devs working on those codebases.
As for pip/easy_install vs npm/yarn/pnpm... I'm curious what you think pip does well that yarn/npm doesn't? I'll say in my work experience there's more/better enterprise private repository/cache support for node modules than for python modules. Using npm security databases alongside "known good versioning" allows a team of even 100 developers to safely add libraries to projects with no fear of falling out of corporate compliance regulations. I've never seen that implemented with pip
