I find reading untyped code unnecessarily difficult.

Just this week I came across Swift for Arduino, and SwiftIO, both Swift language solutions for low level boards.

I'm looking forward to giving them a spin.

That looks really interesting. Swift is - in my opinion - probably the best language out there. If wish it would get more traction on server side and on Linux too.

Does micropython not allow typing? That would be odd. I mean, i see how running it with mypy on an esp32 does not work, but the hints can be evaluated on the dev-platform and used by the developer and his IDE/Linter/whatever.

It allows typing as you'd expect.

Edit: More specifically, the parser correctly ignores type hints.
