I've been heavily inspired by this styleguide over the years, but I still think it's a bit too complex. A few random thoughts: - I think "services" is too much of a loaded term. I prefer "actions", and I al

The more I think about it, the more I think that the controversy around static type annotations in Python boils down to this: Improved readability This is very subjective, and is particularly sensitive in a language like Python which

You still haven't defined "large scale" or "better". And you haven't backed up your argument with any evidence.

What's your definition of "large codebases" here? My experience is that on Python codebases large (~100k lines) and small, type annotations are generally a net negative, particularly with a "rotating roster of many devel

My (perhap controversial) take is that static typing in Python is also a form of premature optimisation. Code should be written without static types first, and static types should only be added when absolutely necessary. 99% of the time, it
