Thank god I'm not the only one who feels that way about PEP 0484. No offense to Guido or the other authors, but I don't know what was going on in their minds.

- toyg 11y agoSome PEPs are just wrong. This is one of them. It's kowtowing to dumb editors when the point of the language is to be as human-friendly as possible. If we wanted an IDE-friendly language we'd just use Java.
- Macha 11y agoThe general atmosphere in programming communities has been that dynamically typed languages are just wrong and everything should be statically typed. This has probably been driven by languages that showed that static typing doesn't have to be as inconvenient as Java, like Haskell or Rust, but the proponents also seem to argue for inferior type systems.
