    Doesn’t Python 3 have types? I’ve seen a few well typed codebases and it really made the code much easier to understand. Or is it just that it’s not checking them strongly enough?

      The type annotations are just fancy comments. They do not do anything at runtime. If you have a function that takes an int someone can still pass in a list or anything else.

        The main advantage of typing for me is static linting.

        But will it run? I’m used to typescript where it’s not checked at runtime but you can’t “build” unsafe types I’d assume it’s the same here
