also I just realized that Brazil did NOT make a programming language entirely in Spanish and call it “Si” and that my professor was making a joke about C… god damn it
this post is probably too nieche but I feel like Lemmy is nerdy enough that enough people will get it lol
What you’re describing is type hints, it’s syntactic sugar and not used at all by the interpreter.
For example, this is a “legal” statement:
foo: int = "bar"Your IDE and linter will complain, but the interpreter just chops the hints off when compiling, and it’s left with
foo = "bar"
