Not so. A simple list comprehension is (usually) quite readable, while a triply-nested list comprehension all on one
line is not.
Similarly, adding type information in between a variable name and its value is not (for me, and apparently others too)
readable.
Most horribly of all, cluttering a function header with type information is
most unreadable.
I started using Python at 2.5. It was simple, clean, and elegant. If I had stumbled on it at 3.16 with samples,
tutorials, and books all infused with typing clutter (which *looks* like boiler-plate even if it isn't) I wouldn't have
given it a second glance.
