I think the limiting factor in the case of python getting type hints was that it was never designed for type safety in mind, and that it took a while to establish consensus on a good type-hinting system.

I don't think it's a matter of reinventing the wheel, in this case, more a matter of bolting something like a wheel on a system which didn't start with wheels.
