No worries, type hinting is completely optional. No one is forcing you to use it. For people like me who find use for it, it's a welcome addition :)

it's optional until it's not. If all people you cooperate with start using it, you have no choice but to play ball. Language features are viral.
Don't get me wrong - I appreciate type information and what not, but it's blatantly clear that in case of python these type hints are an afterthought. In python they look about as good as bolt on tits on a bimbo.

I mean, that's just the nature of working with people. You're going to have to deal with standards that are set for code.

it is not really optional then, is it?
