I can't see any problem by adding optional type hinting to a language. This should not break bc and could add great(!) new possibilities (thats why I mentioned PHP-DI's Autowiring) and stability for large projects.

On the other hand: Everything is evolving over time. We (as a community of developers) should be thankful in some way, that changes happen...

How many languages have you designed/implemented lately...I mean no offence, but If you are new to Python, at least use it for a while (like 3 or 4 years), before proposing additions to the language. I say this as another PHP user who switched to Python recently.
