People who don't find the benefits of typing are worth the overhead?
Python is, after all, a dynamically-typed language, so it is, surely, not too surprising that those who use it might include those who want a ... dynamic language ?
If it's too much to take the joys of Java are freely available.
I've found it reduces overhead. Rather than using English to describe the types, in the comments/docstrings, I can just type the terse type hint in the function definition, and leave the rest to the documentation renderer. If you don't document anyways, sure.
