Type Hinting

[Miloslav-RS]

Do we require type-hinting?

I'm up for it, it's not only great for the static analysis, but also serve as a documentation.

Type hinting also makes autocomplete more accurate in LSP-enabled text editors.

I would lean towards requiring type hinting as well, it provides so many benefits.

Group conclusion:
We should require type-hinting not only for the result values, but also for parameters.

Also, vendors should include a py.typed marker file so that clients can benefit from type hints.

Agreed, py.typed is just a marker file with empty content, this is easily doable for every vendor.
