Not for the first and certainly not for the last time, I find myself wishing Python had actual types rather than a handful of external libraries providing polite suggestions if you run them.

Heck even Perl can tell the difference between “a thing” and “some things” out of the box.

@Mnemonic Well yeah. When it gets to references, Perl assumes you know what you’re doing and waits until runtime.

Wanting to play enough with Raku that I can see whether it gets that better. I do know I need to lean on references less in Raku, since the existing types provide the utility I need.

Compartmentalizing this code so much that containerization is the next obvious step.
