Type hints cheat sheet (Python 3)

I find it weird how the variable type is between the name and value. I’m sure there is a well thought out valid reason though

This is something I was introduced to when learning Rust. I've grown to like it as I now read declarations such as:

let x: int32 ...

as "let x be a 32 bit integer ...".

I think it's just the nature of how it expanded from type hinting.

That is, originally, you were simply hinting at the type of the variable through "pi: float" rather than declaring it. In that standalone context, the format makes sense to me.
