I agree.
Poetry is good but not good enough to use at work yet. Also - not Poetry’s fault - many Python packages are miserable at listing and versioning their dependencies correctly.
Re: everything else, you’re right but it gets really tiring writing tests that are handled by the type system in other languages.
Go has this problem too to a certain degree since multiple error subtypes can’t be expressed as an enum. Just errors.Is and errors.As everywhere.
