Hi all,
tldr; type hints in python source are scary. Would reserving them for
stub files be better?
I think Jack's summary of this is excellent and aligns well with where I
think I'm coming from on this:

Harry Also makes just as many good points so I'll reply here, with a
note that while switching to (type/header/stub - my ordered preference
for how to describe .pyi files) is preferable to type hints inside
files, it's still a massive change to the language, not one I can say
I've missed over the past 15 years, and one if asked to vote on (I know
that's not the case ;-)) that I would choose to vote against.
Anyway, I've not posted much to python-dev in quite a while, but this is
a topic that I would be kicking myself in 5-10 years time when I've had
to move to Javascript or <insert new language here> because everyone
else has drifted away from Python as it had become ugly...
