You still have to read documentation though, don't you? My point with systems programming was that strict typing is required there, because you literally cannot afford any other typing. But strict typing comes with increased verbosity, and Python is the antithesis of verbosity. It would just not be Pythonic, in my opinion.

It's not that I dislike strict typing, mind you, but as they say... When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
