"blurb": "Python is a dynamic and strongly typed object-oriented programming language. It employs both duck typing and gradual typing (via type hints). Variables can be bound and re-bound to any data type and are resolved at run-time. Python uses significant indentation (similar to Haskell) for code blocks and puts strong emphasis on code readability.",
