I really dislike converting Python to a different language. What type is this? Go 5 libraries down to find out ;)

That's a common misunderstanding. Python's type system is in the unit tests necessary to ensure the code is doing what it should. This is a boon because all of the behavioral rules are co-located for efficient reference. ;)
It's more a traits system than a type system. Who cares if it's a list so long as I can append to it?
