I'm pretty sure the IDE uses either mypy or pyrite under the hood.

I don't know how this is a sign of python lacking. Works just fine in jupyter notebooks, too, and that is hardly an "IDE" (though it does have Jedi autocomplete).

If a language cannot be written or used effectively by devs without IDE, it is an incomplete language.

This has happened in the past is Java. Within a few years, Python will bloat up like Java and everyone will move on to greener pastures.
