no, i'm quite the opposite in fact. i want a type-less language. sure, builtin types like int/str/float need some concrete distinction, but apart from those, all language-level objects should be typeless.
Well, sorry, but I don't think anyone here understands what you mean by "typeless" so I think continuing this discussion is rather pointless. Your statement that "an object's type is its MRO" is also meaningless and not rooted in fact. And your examples are incomprehensible.
