Thank god, Javascript is a mess.

I’ll still plug Scala for having the beauty of Python, the ecosystem of Java, the correctness of Rust, the concurrency of Go, and the power of Lisp.

I code both typescript and python professionally, and python is almost as much of a mess, just a different kind of mess. The package manager ecosystem is all over the place, nobody is agreeing on a build system, and the type system is still unable to represent fairly simple concepts when it comes to function typing. Also tons of libraries just ignore types altogether. I love it, but as a competitor to JavaScript in the messiness department it's not a good horse.

I'm going to code in Python for my job soon, do you have links on how TF I should manage dependencies? I can't stand the bloat of virtual environments or Anaconda sorry.

I need to make myself a stack python but I don't want to look at this madness. At least Typescript benefits from a high quality ecosystem of frontend tooling with Vite/React/ESLint/ESBuild and it's getting even better with the new runtimes features :)

I need to learn about:

built-in tools provided by the language (practice on the job and the power of Google & LLMs will help)
ecosystem
good practices

Why is their a build system for an interpreted language ? Do you have bundling concerns like in JS or you somehow compile Python code now?
