>>how do you accurately hint to linters, in a language that encourages duck typing, the type a method parameter is likely to take? You didn't check the Method::Signatures link or do I misunderstand your position? Also check Moose@CPAN, which have typing of object attributes. It isn't like a fully typed language, but it should help a lot. Edit: Link discussing type checking of attributes in Perl. Should be possible to have something similar in other dynamic languages? http://search.cpan.org/~doy/Moose-2.0602/lib/Moose/Util/TypeConstraints.pm http://search.cpan.org/~doy/Moose-2.0602/lib/Moose/Util/Type... Edit: Please check the links and see if Perl solves your problems? I am curious. (-: Writing a PEP to get something similar into Python is optional. :-)
