"no variable or argument declarations are necessary."

[Brian Quinlan]

Have those of you who think that the lack of required declarations in 
Python is a huge weakness given any thought to the impact that adding 
them would have on the rest of the language? I can't imagine how any 
language with required declarations could even remotely resemble Python.

And if you want to use such a different language, wouldn't a different 
existing language better fit your needs...?

Cheers,
Brian
