Python 3.10's new features: Explicit type aliasing for forward declarations

The video introduces a new feature in Python 3.10 called explicit type aliasing, which improves type hinting by allowing the creation of aliases for not yet declared types. The instructor discusses the limitations of previous methods, such as using string literals for forward references, and highlights the benefits of using type aliasing for clearer and more maintainable code. The video also touches on the role of linting tools in refactoring and invites feedback on the new presentation style.

What advantages does the type alias class provide over using string literals for type hinting?

In what ways does the new type aliasing feature contribute to code maintainability?
