You mean statically typed? Python is already strongly typed.

Try running it through mypy with all the strict options. If you can get it to 100% pass and don't try to "cheat" the system too much with dynamic casts, I think you will find runtime type errors to be very rare.

Err...yes. I forget that "strong" and "static" are not the same and that "strong" and "duck" are not mutually exclusive.
