python Generics (intermediate) anthony explains #430

Is there any value in making a method generic that doesn't take any parameters, but could return a variety of things?

If I remember correctly, you don't need necessarily to type annotate the constructor if you say so: my_object = FDict[str, int]()

In this case, it makes no sense but still, you can. BTW good video, and a very interesting topic

I have a question for you, @anthonywritescode. I am in a continuous merge request review discussion back and forth with others regarding the use of `NoReturn` vs `None` for the return of a function or method that does not returns anything. Can you please shine your light on it? Docs state then the `NoReturn` is used for functions that are not expected to return anything; eg. an Exception raising function.

Awesome, a video about covariant/contravariant would be nice

Cool. Python becomes ... Haskell ;). Anthony, this is not fair. ;) Tell us about covariant and countervariant. ;)

This is awesome

I remember my professor talking about covariate and contravariant types and all I remember is that "a bag of apples is not a bag of fruits"??

random trivia I learned recently: to make a generic protocol class, you can do:

```
class C(Protocol, Generic[T]): ...
```

which is a bit much, so there's a shorthand:

```
class C(Protocol[T]): ...
```
