Chad Dombrova commented on BEAM-9064:
-------------------------------------
I am _very_ reticent to implement this. I haven't used pytype, but my
experience working with mypy over the past few years, and following various
issues and peps related to it and typing in general, has taught me there's
still a lot of room for interpretation and thus variation between type
checkers. As a user, it can be quite challenging to solve certain typing
issues, and I would not be the least bit surprised to find that certain
problems cannot be solved in a way that satisfies both linters, at least not
without some seriously ugly workarounds. We're already asking for our
contributors to gain a whole new area of expertise in order to get their PRs
merged – one with a fairly steep learning curve – I wouldn't want to burden
them with an additional linter with its own idiosyncrasies.
