when you paste this code, it's infinitely more readable out of its original context with those hints.
def max_width_of_vertical_area(points):
xs = sorted(x for x, _ in points)
return max(x2-x1 for x1, x2 in zip(xs, xs[1:]))
Though I spend most my time writing Swift code, which definitely influences my preference.
Would you say this is "less readable substantially" than your example?
def max_width_of_vertical_area(points):
# type points: List of List of int
xs = sorted(x for x, _ in points)
return max(x2-x1 for x1, x2 in zip(xs, xs[1:]))Snake case.

In my vscode setup with mypy strict, pylance basic and python 3.9 though, type hints all days for me. I personally forget the arguments types like 1 second after I write the function. Maybe I'm conditioned by typed python.
Leetcode codes usually have simpler data structure and without 3rd party libraries so that's even easier to add types for.
Edit: Oh looks like Leetcode python code template has type hints
