I'm not defending strong dynamic typing. I just think that the typing module makes Python a better language. I use the typing module for the same reason I switched from JavaScript to TypeScript and the experience I have working in both, Python+typing and TypeScript, is very similar, even though TypeScript is strong statically typed.
