Re: type hinting

Good Morning everyone, one should not forget that type hinting has some clear advantages the anti type hinting advocates always try to forget... * the code gets smaller because not so many typechecks in every function * because the code gets smaller it is faster executed (userspace typecheck is slower than "engine-space") * without all these type checks the code gets easier to read * with type hints byte code optimizer can optimize the code far better -> faster execution * with type hints static analysing tools that check for bugs/vulnerabilities can perform far better (intra procedural analysis gives more information) Stefan Esser
