Roadmap for Static Type Hints in Low-level Algorithms #11170
Description
Will scikit-learn accept pull requests for low-level code with static type hints? Does it ever plan to?
I don't know where the core team stands on static type hints in Python, but I think they make it 10x easier to grok code and convert users to contributors.
2018 seems like a great time to make this change, in light of Numpy dropping support for new features in Python 2.7. #11115
Supported version would need to change from Python (>= 2.7 or >= 3.4) to Python (>= 3.5) to support static type hints.
