Thankfully Python fixed that discrepancy about 3/2
Anyhow, I don't agree with you: I think that getting a bug years down the road due to a too small numeric type is something that the programming language itself should avoid.... not because "developers don't ought to know it", but because mistakes happen
Anyhow, even with a dynamically typed programming language like Python or Javascript you can care about the size of your numbers.
Just import the array module (in Python) or use the Int32Array/Int8Array/etc. types (in Javascript)
