    then x is created in the scope in your snippet

    Saying “x is defined somewhere in the entire program” isn’t satisfactory to many users. Also, you didn’t tell me what type x has. Can I do x + 5?

      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.
