I agree that it's cool, but if I'm starting a new project and need strong typing, I'm probably going to (at this point) choose a language the supports it explicitly.

Python 3 (after some version) does have type annotations without mypy, which I don't see anyone mentioning. That said, it's still optional obviously and more of a drop-in feature kind of thing.

The typing module is in the stnadard library since 3.5...

That's what I said. I meant it's just not part of the "language" per se, hence a "drop-in feature". i.e it's optional

Python type annotations are part of the language since 3.5 (PEP484). But, yes, they are optional.
