I love how Python's shitty indentation rule is called a good thing because it "forces developers into the good practice of properly indenting their code" yet types are a slapdick mess.


The types are still there under the hood, you can use the type(variable) operator to check them. But yeah, when I first went from Java to Python the lack of strict typing or w/e was something I was very skeptical of.

Yeah, the types are there, which makes all the implicit declaration all the more baffling. What benefit is there to committing this information from the text? Instead of being able to reason about what a function expects simply from the function signature, I have to rely on the documentation or looking at the function's code to figure things out. This is awful for poorly-documented code.
