ISTM that typing/annotations have been allowed to drift without a
clear end in view, rather like a ship that is steered in one direction
by one person, then in another by someone else, with nobody knowing
what the destination port is.
I believe the problem is less within the typing community itself
(whether static or runtime), but a fundamental conflict between the
typing community and what Stephen called the "typing-suspicious crowd".
typing in Python has always been hampered by sometimes valid, often
unfounded fears that typing is "taking over" and somehow becomes a
requirement. For example, PEP 484 made no changes to Python or the
stdlib, except the introduction of a new module, often to the detriment
of readability and usability of type annotations. And while progress is
made slowly (for example with generics in standard collections or the
new callable syntax proposal), I'm sure the typing community would love
to progress faster and with less obstacles.
