The gradual typing available now seems suitable. I have written plenty of code in typed contexts and plenty without. Python's "consenting adults" approach seems a win.
Perhaps, without the GIL and with typing information included, additional performance gains with be on offer.
But the "have it your way" nature of Python is a bigger win than either end of the data typing spectrum.

- smitty1e 5y agoThe typing module is much more recent than the Zen easter egg.
