I'm very confused by your response. Where did I suggest that I don't like type systems or think automated tooling is not useful?
It's precisely because I do like and use them that I find Python's static type hints to be extremely useful for large Python codebases.
What I hear you saying is "Python does not offer these things". What I hope you hear me saying is "Python does, in fact, offer these things".
- the_af 5y agoWell, you did frame the discussion as: > I think your (and the article's) argument could be summarized as "static type annotations without automated enforcement by actually running a type checker considered harmful" It illustrates your mindset, in my opinion. I think type annotations without checking them (or without a satisfying implementation of said type checking) are mostly pointless. You also left out the part where I remarked on the dismissive tone of your reply.
