@devopscats Isn't this just an extension of a previous Python feature? Wasn't there one which said something like "we still don't do type safety, but we'll let you write some code to pretend that you're being type safe"?
@TimWardCam@devopscats Type hints are more of an IDE integration tool that is actually useful, since Python is a dynamic but strongly typed language it can detect a lot of type errors and makes autocomplete more powerful, by allowing to suggest only elements that have the correct type.
