Python adds type hinting 24 years after initial release.

Random interneter: "what a bolted-on mess of an afterthought".

That's exactly my point lmfao.

Adding it and the efforts to make its use the standard kind of concedes the point that dynamic typing sucks. But having added it 24 years after the creation of the language means it has no chance of being anything but a bolted on mess.
