Relevant links: 1) Optional static typing for python: https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html 2) Mypy static type checker for python: https://github.com/python/mypy
So the question - has anyone given any serious thought to introducing type hints and a static type checker in ccm and python dtests? A search on dev ponymail doesn't turn up anything. I've used it pretty extensively in the past and found it incredibly helpful combined with other linters in surfacing troublesome edge cases, and also found it accelerated development quite a bit. Any thoughts on the topic for or against? ~Josh
