>Except it is trivial. Just add the type declaration like it says in the PEP. For every single variable declaration. This will increase the length of your program. >That's a ridiculous thing to say, Are you asserting that program length will not go up when adding explicit types? That seems a peculiarly indefensible position. >You're trying to misrepresent a personal (and miss-guided) opinion that you formed on a particular programming language as being representative of a single issue. Lack of verbosity is one of python's main strengths. >If your argument was sound and remotely rational, you would've pointed something in the PEP to discuss the merits of the PEP. Which I did which you would have picked up on if you were remotely reading what I was actually saying: it picks up type errors that would otherwise not be caught. It does that at a cost: longer code that does the same thing. You seem to fail to understand that this is a trade off. > Therefore it's pointless to continue with this discussion. Agree about that.
