And what's the problem on having some type hints on some func signatures?) You can read python exactly the same way (with and without type hints)....

It's just one more thing you have to get to learn.

I have the same problem with classes in JavaScript. You can't ignore them and stick to prototypes nor ignore prototypes and stick to classes. What should have been a simplification has turned out to make things more complex.

Unlike ES6 classes, you absolutely can ignore type hints (and they're easy to ignore). In fact they're basically inline comments, and the interpreter ignores them too.

Anyway es6 classes it's just a proper way of doing Oop in js.. the prototypal thing it's so ugly...
