Python is indeed getting better and better, but I personally wouldn't include optional typing... yet. Mostly because the optional typing in Python is just for tooling, not for the run compiler or run time [1]. Python is one of my go-to language, but I haven't found a compelling reason to use type hinting yet.
Python's really good at binding C code [2], which is one of the reasons you see it in so many machine learning and scientific projects (Numpy, Scikit, Tenserflow, etc.) I think that's what given Python a lot of legs in the last few years.
