Hi all,

As promised and as mentioned in the meetup we just had, I’m excited to share the raw data, analysis, and data visualization for our summer survey.

Raw results: Python Typing Survey August 2024

Slides: 2024 Typed Python Survey

Data Visualization: Python Typing Survey Analysis August 2024

I’d like to extend a huge thank you to Eric, Luciana and Galina for helping get this kicked off and to this group for your feedback on the survey design. With your help we were able to collect over 1,000 responses. We’re eager to build on this success and run the survey again next year, incorporating learnings to improve the design and distribution. Please let us know what you think and what you would like to see next year.

Quick summary: Well over 50% of people surveyed say they “always” use type hints. Most people use mypy and pydantic. Only about 10% say they “rarely” or “never” use type hints, and give “my project doesn’t need it” as the most common reason (40%).

I encourage people to check out the slides though, it has some other good info in there.
