Python, Linux and most other great open source projects we all use today started as personal projects.

> A Python4 that actually used typing in the interpreter, had value types, had a comptime phase to allow most metaprogramming to work (like monkey patching for tests) would be great! It would be faster, cleaner, easier to reason about, and still retain the great syntax and flexibility of the language.

And what prevents someone from designing such a language?

Any program written in Python of any significant size is literally a soup of multiple languages.

> python code could be so much faster if it didn't have to assume everything could change at any time

Definitely, but then it wouldn't be Python. One of the core principles of Python's design is to be extremely dynamic, and that anything can change at any time.

There are many other, pretty good, strictly dynamically typed languages which work just as well if not better than Python, for many purposes.

> only the plot is copyrightable

But the plot can't be copyrightable, as the copyright applies only to a tangible representation of an idea (e.g. written text), and not to an idea itself.
