A Failed Experiment with Python Type Annotations

I really like using and writing type annotated Python, but every time I do, I wonder if I should just use a language where all the annotation time I put in gets me actual runtime improvements.

And accurate compile time checks.

I recommend checking F# if you want mostly inferred, strong static types and terse pythonesque Syntax (few braces, significant whitespace). Also much faster.

Considering you can use all of .NET from F# you can benefit from the work on C# as well.

I'll also wave the F# flag here, but there's also Scala if moving to Javaland is better for you than Dotnetland.
