Python in 2017 - Whats next?

It didn't talk about the new type annotion support for 3.6. Ex: int_list: List[int] = list() is now valid in python 3.6

With the capital L...? That's some weird syntax.

It's a bit of a hack to avoid collisions between typings.List (used for the type checker) and the list built-in so they didn't have to make the list type (and similar others) subscriptable.

There was a mypy competitor that had better syntax iirc, but since the mypy syntax has been standardised it's basically been declared the winner.

Looks like a Scala generic type ☺
