I don't understand why stock Python doesn't include some sort of optional type annotation, as SBCL and other Lisps. Some years ago there was a lot of fuss in the Python community about including optional type checking in Python 3... what happened? At the end, I found most changes from version 2 cosmetic and not really exciting.
- illumen 16y agoThere are now annotations. But they are not used for anything by default.
- StavrosK 16y agoI can't either :/ It would be fantastic to be able to annotate your code a bit with types and speed it up many times. Hopefully, with Python 3, many tools (e.g. Cython) will be able to do just that.
