Another example: Java and C++ got disrupted by Python and Ruby, which were considered to be much simpler to read and write, but now we are seeing more static typing, for example Python with type hints and friendlier static languages like Go/Kotlin/Swift. Perhaps mirrors the shift between text editors and IDEs.



With Python you can write super simple to super complex. If you have a large project that benefits by type hinting, use type hinting.


As long as performance isn't part of the requirements, then it is time to rewrite it into Java and C++.
