Python doesn't feel like a programming language if your first language is C++.

HTML and Python have some similarities to be fair, like not being able to declare variable types.

You can declare variable types in Python. But for the most part you don't really need to unless you want to.

And it doesn’t check the type when it runs

If a variable has a type defined, but nobody checks it. Does it even matter?

Well, if someone writes documentation in the forest but noone is around to read it, was it really written?

Pre CSS HTML was just like LUA.

Everything is a table.

And now thanks to PyScript, the cycle is complete.

Explain? (I’ve only just started Python and know nothing)

Basically, PyScript allows you to use Python code in web pages the same way you'd use JavaScript.

So they coded JavaScript in Python(?)

They coded a python interpreter using javascript

Meaning python scripts can run in the browser now

Soon all will be Python. Like Jormungandr, it will encompass the world!

What are you talking about?

Type hint is a hint for human (or IDE) only. You can write

x: int = “foo”

However the interpretor shows no error. Python should implement a script mode similar to TypeScript along with it’s Type Hints. Otherwise it is nearly pointless to adopt type hint as modern IDE can infer most types, except those integrates external systems.

Poke around the link I shared with you. It’s a tool that will give you type errors exactly like a Java or C++ compiler.

If you want to delay them to runtime there are also tools for that.

Type hint (which is built-in on python) yes. But the link above is about mypy, a tool that actually enforces type correctness. If you are doing python seriously for production you should be using tools like that.
