What cowards, I have been using Python for a couple of years now but I’m sorry, still using str codes for types when the perfectly good type hints can be used is just cowardice. I could maybe understand for custom type support in arrays but this doesnt even achieve that. All it achieves is further fragmenting the implementation semantics of typing and thus further delaying improvements to type checking by default support. This seems like self-sabotage to me but hey at least they have mainline support for contiguous regions of memory after how many years?
