PyCon 2015: Are we still changing the world?
> And that's really the point: it has the potential to create a community in which half the people are eyes-closed, ears-plugged.This is a big concern of mine as well, both before/after listening to Guido's keynote on Type Hinting at PyCon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wDvzy6Hgxg).
At first I thought type hinting would only really see adoption in performance-oriented sections of code, but I think we're all curious to see what best practices emerge in general, and in the open source side of things. Really the additional robustness it unlocks for IDEs like JetBrains is what got me really excited about type hints in Python.
