What kind of quick one off scripts have large complex scopes where variable renames are difficult to track?

Besides, these days Python has great LSPs and typing features that can even surpass the traditional typed langs

Mostly number crunching and data exploration tasks. Just so I can make informed decisions about the data I got. I do this rarely enough so it hasn’t been worth for me to install all these extra third party support wheels.

Those support wheels are for your own (and apparently systematic) errors...

It doesn't need to have large complex scopes. I have the brain of a goldfish. I program because it's challenging. It's challenging because I'm bad at it.
