I have been writing FastAPI code for a proof-of-concept, but I haven’t been using type hints. Maybe it’s the right time to get started using it.

I had no idea Python even had type annotations. I just looked it up and it turns out there are a bunch of type checkers. Does anyone have thoughts on Pyrefly vs Pyright?

There might be initial overhead, but it is worth using type hints.

I don’t need type for small toy project. For production system, I prefer typed language.

But if you are doing a lot of AI, even in production, you can’t avoid Python.

because I posted 2.5 decades ago that systems should use occupational therapy from tests’ concrete type results, while testing a deep dynamic system. That way a dynamic language may manually and now automatically decorate to apply static type checking where needed.
Python since like 1998 ish? Huge projects at Omnigon/Celterra, Boardformula, etc. Typesafe since 1984.
