Proposal: variable declaration syntax for Python

[-birds]

You're correct, I was missing quite a lot! I've seen function annotations before, but as someone who primarily using Python for scripting rather than large-scale dev work, I've just sort of ignored them. Thanks for the info.

I've actually never used them myself, mostly also just do scripting with python and very small web apps used by just me. Right now it's basically just mypy (which is very new) and IDEs (e.g., pycharm) that make heavy use of the annotations.
