So, what is solution?

Writing everything in Python :-)

Isn't the problem that many type-safe languages at the end use e.g. GTK bindings for the library written in unsafe language like C?

Or, do you suggest writing everything in e.g. C++?

Having, at least, application code written in safe-language, could reduce maintenance cost a bit?
