Are there other options??

plain old:

@dataclass class C: a = 1 b = 1.0

would work, though then there would be no way to express fields without defaults:

The PEP already supports using "a = field(); b = field()" (etc) to declare untyped fields without a default value.

This annotation free spelling may not be clearly covered in the current module docs, though.
