New in Python 3.12, the type statement! Now we can use "type" to create type aliases in Python.

I completely missed this when I was doing my research on 3.12! This is SO much nicer than the old system in so many ways, definitely long overdue.

nice, clean and fast to type out, that's what we like about python (and all the libs :D) --> good change

[Arsngrobg]

I am SO glad we can now reference class types before they are defined. You don't know how much I got annoyed at the fact that it wasn't possible in previous versions of Python.

I love your videos really well constructed and great content. Though am I missing something, Why does everyone want explicit typing in Python, the point is not to. I love using 25 * "_" to make lines. types break this idea and more.

[chrikke]

Python really needs an option to toggle strong typing, like php

[sattineez]

It is so much cleaner and really simple to use 🤩

explain more of generic types plz as you didn't give some examples😢, thx bro.

[TomLeg]

"alias" is pronouced with an "A" as in "hay", "bay", "OK", "ray", "say", "day", not as in "ha-ha-ha". Welcome to the wonderful world of English

you forgot about the bound with the type parameter like:
type MyIntegerSeq[T: int] = Sequence[T]

[darcash]

weird, im getting red highlight when i use [T], even tho i have 3.12.2. i also get it when i have type in front of the specified kind.

This doesnt seem to be alerting Pycharm of anything tho, and theres nothing in red there:

IntOrStr = list | str

[anamoyeee]

I wish i could update to 3.12 but the library I heavily depend on doesn't work on 3.12

[Lokdora]

This looks too cpp, I still perfer the colon syntax

[flamendless]

They should have used another keyword imo. Type is already a function

[maswinkels]

I hope the IntOrStr type is a joke. Right?
