Doesn’t Python 3 have types? I’ve seen a few well typed codebases and it really made the code much easier to understand. Or is it just that it’s not checking them strongly enough?
The type annotations are just fancy comments. They do not do anything at runtime. If you have a function that takes an int someone can still pass in a list or anything else.
It badly needs strong typing. And braces.
just put int_ or str_ in front of your variables
problem solved 😌
I think python is good as it is for what it can do, mostly because I have no reason to use it.
What we need is lua with types!
Have you heard of Typescript-to-lua? I used to do Dota modding (which is in lua) with TSTL and it works great!
You write TS code (using Typescript syntax that includes types) and it is compiled into lua.
Wonder if that could be an alternative that can work for you.

The main advantage of typing for me is static linting.
