Which was my main concern when type-hints were added

Give a hand to the strong-typed people and they will take the whole arm.

They will take Python as "now it's like Java" and will push it all the way through.

strong types != ugly syntax (viz. Haskell)

Agreed but that's not necessarily the issue here

(Though yeah templates in C++ turn the ugliness to 11)

Not to mention Python is "strongly-typed". But it doesn't require variables to have a pre-determined type and doesn't do compile time type checks by itself.
