I write all my CLIs in Python.

I find that I always need various random things to work together and have always found Python to be the most robust at this. Plus it has pretty much anything you'd need already implemented.

Type safety is important to me. So not going for python.

Otherwise python is the go-to because of the libs.

Isn't that what mypy is for?
