    The type annotations are just fancy comments. They do not do anything at runtime. If you have a function that takes an int someone can still pass in a list or anything else.

      But will it run? I’m used to typescript where it’s not checked at runtime but you can’t “build” unsafe types I’d assume it’s the same here

        no they really are just fancy comments. You can do runtime reflection on them if you wanna make something fancy like a plugin system but that’s about it
