Yep, great developers know they "need" type-safety, but we don't always have it. Even my own app has a Python Microservice in the docker stack where 100% of my LLM/AI code is contained, simply because I wanted all the latest and greatest AI tooling (especially LangChain). I opted for Python over Java for that microservice, but used various tools to achieve build-time type-safety.
> For any large project you need type-safe languages. 99% of experience developers (10+ years of experience) will agree with this opinion.
Clearly, more than 1% of experienced developers choose Python, despite it not being a type-safe language.
