This is a great question.  All Python programmers know the answer: the lack
of static checks is much less important than you would imagine.

For Python, you can run pylint from time to time to perform lint-like
"static" checks.  They are often useful.  But most of the time, when I make
a programming mistake, Python politely tells me about it.

Proper unit tests that cover code also reduce the importance of static
checks.

But the point is this: you will be shocked at how little static checks
matter.
