The state of type hints in Python
This article talks about Python getting type hints.
There as a HN post recently about Ruby getting a type checker (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=17217815" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=17217815</a>)<p>I think the debate is largely going in favor of static type checking. The widespread adoption of type inference in many statically typed languages (var in Java, auto in C++, let in Rust) has greatly eased the ergonomics of using a statically typed language.<p>Unless there is a massive ecosystem that you need to take advantage of (for example javascript), in 2018 greenfield development should probably be in a statically typed language.
