I think it's nice that more and more languages take inspiration from the Python community.
For example, I've recently found a way to use Python-like type hints in C++. Crazy, huh? The trick is to replace "auto" with the concrete type name, e.g.:
auto x = 5;
becomes:
int x = 5;
- tathougies 9y agoThis is a joke right?
- tzahola 9y agoJoke? No, you can actually do this in C++!
- tathougies 9y agoOf course you can do this in c++. The second form of your declaration is the standard way of doing things. How did you learn c++, that this was a surprise to you? Secondly, that’s not a ‘type hint’ and c++ did not get this from python. Prior to c++17, there was no auto and all declarations were like this. If anything, Python got the names from c++
