And as I noted in my last post — many folks have not been paying attention to the typing discussions because they didn’t realize it concerned them.
It seems a little disingenuous to claim discussions about annotations don’t concern you when you’re actively using them (for typing, no less, in the case of pydantic). And I am sure a project as popular (by their own description) as pydantic will find a way forward if PEP 649 is rejected, despite overdramatized claims. That said, I agree it is better that this came up before the feature freeze than after the release. And I am willing to accept that the hypothetical future where annotations are not always syntactically expressions (which did not even exist before this week) is less important than backwards compatibility. -- --Guido (mobile)
