If you accept my -in advance- apology, why this type thing seem ugly -distraction,complex, hard to act, ...- to me ? I'm not against it , as in TS (non enforced type checking ), it is a lovely addition to python, but I'm really struggling to read, write and .. this syntax . Not sure if it is python's nature, but as most of us, C, C++, ...., TS this is a journey, evolution , but the root C is some kind of cult we attached to. Is it preventing me to love this thing ( thanks for effort )

Do not know?

Additions to language always confront syntax expectations. Some people can see through syntax to semantic intent, alas I am not one and the utility of a syntactic form goes (to me at least) beyond expressiveness to comprehension: if your syntax confuses then how can anyone comprehend?

Haskell dies in syntax.
