In the last year I’ve contributed mods to two packages that were rejected because I hadn’t provided typing (and black formatting, but that’s a different subject). I’ve reluctantly done so. And while I *hated* it because of the unreadability I _do_ like the outcome: I changed some of the APIs because they were doing things “my way”, but that was really pretty impossible to explain to the typing system. The modified APIs are arguably cleaner.
