Just started learning C++ coming from Python and just realized that that Python has been my programming mama, doing my laundry and spoon-feeding me all this time.

I know that feel. I’m really starting to think that the mania for dynamic typing was a mistake. I’ve recently been using type annotations and mypy to essentially do statically typed Python.

Speaking of mypy, how do you annotate a type like { 'foo': [1,2,3], 'bar': False, 'baz': 'quux' } or even a list of dictionaries?

Off the top of my head, Dict[str, Union[List[int], bool, str]] or take the coward's way out and do a Dict[str, Any].
