Your interpretation of "equivalency" is hard to understand in any context except one which seeks to limit the disagreement to an extremely narrow "debate" that just so happens to validate the ideology implied by your selective defense. My response is to point out that your narrowing of the space of dicussion is not only noticed but acknowledged and explicitly challenged. In a conversation about morals this framing of…

> that just so happens to validate the ideology No, it doesn't "just so happen", any more than saying "everyone should be given a fair trial" in a legal system "just so happens" to apply to the guilty and innocent. > Clear? Your response is entirely rhetoric, attempting to criticise me rather than my argument. It's clear how you feel; not what you think.

Just saying something doesn't make it true :) You're going to have to do better than that to sneak your ideology by.

What is the rationale for types being part of the syntax but without shipping a built in type checker? Are we being conservative and waiting to see where the four type checkers — mypy, pyrite, pyre, pytype, and others? — lead us before rolling one into the standard distribution?

Read the PEP for Type Hints, the rationale is laid out there.

Python will probably never have a built-in type checker beyond Python's existing strong typing at runtime.
