For myself, better code completion is enough to lure me into the world of fully type-annotated python. I don't understand what you mean by saying "cargo cult",

  Cargo cult probably refers to doing something based on superficial assesment without understanding what is actually done. Originally refers to problems in science. https://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm https://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm

  > fully type-annotated python When I do that, I ask myself: "how is it different from writing Java code?". I don't have a clear answer. It becomes almost as verbose as Java. Java has better type validation (doesn't compile on mistake); it is faster (at least some payback for verbosity); real type system has additional advantages, for example using types as part of method signature.
