Even Javascript has quite a bit of autocompletion nowadays, with all the annotations coming from typescript. Much less typescript itself. Frameworks on the JS side also massively improved.

Same thing with Python. Not that it really needed annotation much, the productivity always was quite high, whatever people not using Python said. Now there is static type checking and the IDEs got even smarter. In my experience even statically typed software still needs automated and manual testing so much of the benefits are limited.
