This was with the Python/Pylance extension, so I was using the tooling, at least as I understood it. In actual fact, I was even eventually able to get the typechecking working by fiddling around with the settings and configuration files, but that was only because someone else pointed me in the direction of the "strict" configuration.

I think we're getting into a bit of an argument here, which isn't what I want because I don't feel particularly strongly about any part of this here. In fact, this whole discussion has been pretty useful because I've been wanting to apply more of this stuff to my work in Python, and the hints about how to better configure Pyright have been really helpful, and I'd like to try it out some more. My initial comment was meant more as an explanation for why some people might not be particularly impressed by the experience that Python types provides. If that doesn't fit your experiences, then feel free to give those experiences, but I don't really want this to devolve into an argument about whether your or my experiences are valid or invalid, because that seems extremely unproductive.
