I wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to bundling a type checker with the interpreter/stdlib, but I think there are some issues with it. Just off the top of my head (there are undoubtedly many more issues to resolve): * Which type checker would we adopt or adapt, if any? * Which parts of the typing system require more frequent release cycles? * Is there a core technology that could be put in the stdlib and still allow experimentation? * Would the type checker authors become core developers? * Do the same feature release / deprecation policies apply? I would still be opposed to requiring type hinting in Python. -Barry
