Writing Python like it’s Rust
You can use https://github.com/beartype/plum instead of that elif chain too

Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
The Haxe programming language (https://haxe.org/). It's insane how unpopular this is compared to its value.
"Haxe can build cross-platform applications targeting JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP, Flash, and allows access to each platform's native capabilities. Haxe has its own VMs (HashLink and NekoVM) but can also run in interpreted mode."
It's mostly popular in game dev circles, and is used by: Nortgard, Dead Cells, Papers Please, ... .

Ask HN: I just want to have fun programming again
Seems like Haxe (https://haxe.org/) might be fun for you.
Per others, though, perhaps it's the motivation that's required. Do you want to write games?

Every night
I mean they did (and still do?) intend to bootstrap it. Last I remember they were deciding on whether it should use an OCaml target or HVM. But sadly there really hasn't been much development going on for Haxe since it's written in OCaml which makes it more disappointing work hasn't been done toward this. https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/issues/6843

Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
