That's only because you have completely misunderstood the problem, which is that, once a type system is present, the goal is to understand the type system, not to actually write and run code. Don't feel bad, it's a common rookie error. You should take a PL course sometime.
Bloody hell. I already know regex so what else could it possibly involve?
regexes can't help us make sense of irregular expressions like `def foo(x: 3):`
Sure it does. If a regexp can handle HTML it can handle anything.
Can confirm.
Why do I feel like a complete pumpkin everytime I talk to you, @shriram.bsky.social??
Because you're secretly Cinderella?
