> The extra typing clarification in python makes the code harder to read

It’s funny, because for me is quite the opposite: I find myself reading Python more easily when there are type annotations.

One caveat might be: for that to happen, I need to know that type checking is also in place, or else my brain dismissed annotations in that they could just be noise.

I guess this is why in Julia or Rust or C you have this stronger feeling that types are looking after you.

I think the face they fundamentally don't look after you is where my resistance comes from. Will try and evaluate some newer code that uses them and see how I get on a bit more :)
