Type hinting will never be mandatory, because bad managers are not in
charge. You can't blame the language because you're *choosing* to
continue to work for someone who demands the unreasonable. Yes, I
understand that there are reasons for not immediately quitting a job
when someone insists on something you disagree with (yaknow, reasons
like "got bills to pay", little trivialities like that); but it's
still your choice. You have to weigh up the value of the job against
the value of the philosophy. And Python's philosophy isn't changed by
that.
