Its not runtime enforceable though. Personally whilst I do provide type hints (I have a the linter setup to remind me) They are only really useful as a documentation tool. As they are not enforced at runtime, you can easily return bollocks and not know. I really like how c# does it, which is have strict typing on by default, but allowing you to turn it off for things where you're wanting to be loosey goosey. Not having to do a bunch of type checks on every operation would also speed up a bunch of things inside python However, that would make it a different language. perhaps python 4? (ducks)
