boolif - A built-in conditional if statement, that requires the boolean type

[mark-todd]

I’ve made a separate post for the in-line type hints suggestion, if people want to check it out. I’m quite convinced by the issues people have raised with boolif, so I’m not sure it’s worth pursuing further, but I think this new solution covers many more cases, the boolif one included:

In-line type hints for briefer use in `if`, `while` and `for` (perhaps some others)

Type hints currently are supported in python during function definitions and variable assignment. I propose a method for type assignment during other operations, such as if, while and for. from pathlib import Path path = Path('tmp') if path.exists()! bool: print('true') This could be used for all kinds of situations, including the below where is list is used in a for, and we want to ensure the has a certain type it’s iterating over: list_here = [1,2,3] for i! int in list_here: print(i)…
