/me does a double-take Wait a minute, you've just spent a bunch of paragraphs explaining that Python is plenty fast enough (for you), that you don't need it to be faster. Okay. Now you're saying that you're *even more* disappointed that type annotations will be used to make code *more correct* and *less buggy*. So... you have no need for Python to be fast, and even less need for Python code to be correct... Or perhaps you mean that you don't need help writing correct code, because your code is perfect... It is moments like this I wonder if you are trolling. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
