Keep in mind that this is a subset of the C++ library.

The static analysis tools for C++ are much more mature than for Python, and good static analysis tools are necessary if you want to perform a refactor across the entire monorepo[1] and encourage thousands of other engineers to start coding in your new paradigm[2].

(Disclaimer: I work on YouTube, which has one of the largest legacy Python code-bases at Google. This is my opinion, not that of my employer.)
