    1. That isn’t what I said at all. Reread?
    2. Find references / go to definition / rename has absolutely nothing to do with types.

      Find references / go to definition / rename has absolutely nothing to do with types.

      It absolutely does. Without static types an IDE/LSP can’t reliably find all the references / definition and therefore can’t refactor reliably either.

      Consider something like this:

      class Foo:
  bar: int

class Baz:
  bar: str

def a(f: Foo) -> int:
  return f.bar + 1

def b(f: Baz) -> str:
  return f.bar + "1"

      Now imagine you want to rename Foo.bar or find all references to it. Impossible without the type annotations.
