I’m not even sure it’s possible to have Django typed without reworking the ORM, I’m thinking about reverse relations, .annotate(), etc.
Yes, there are type stubs for these libraries but they’re either forced to be more strict, preventing use of dynamism, or opt for being less strict but allowing you to use all the library features, at the cost of safety.
I think in the end, new libraries built with static typing in mind, like Pydantic, FastAPI, and Edgedb, are the answer.
There are type stubs for Django that somewhat avoid these compromises: https://github.com/typeddjango/django-stubs
To be able to do this they have to use a Mypy plugin though. And even then it's still far from perfect.
Node DOES not read package.json, npm (node package manager) does. Node is not the package manager, so of course changes to package.json won't affect running `node index.js`
However, node recognizes the file extension mjs as a module and will execute it as such. So renaming the extension of the script would work.
Alternatively, if you wish to use the package.json info to launch node, use the package manager through `npm run start`
This isn't rocket science and honestly makes perfect sense.
Package management is basic stuff and Node really doesn't do it any different than Ruby gems or Pip requirements, etc..I think you and your buddy need to have a talk about the assumptions you're making with regard to the actual executable versus the package manager and re- evaluate your understanding from first principles.
