Hi! > One thing that I think we should change is how we refer to the ‘weak’ type > hints. The word ‘weak’ has a negative ring to it, and considering this is I would really prefer we stop calling it "hints". It is misleading as it is implying this is something which can be easily ignored if wished and only provides an unimportant small piece of information not directly related to the important things. In fact, it would either change the type of the value or produce fatal error, it's hardly a "hint". -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
