Note: while spec conformance is important, I don't recommend using it as the basis for choosing a type checker. It is not representative of the things that most users actually care about (and is not meant to be).

(I was on the Python Typing Council and helped put together the spec, the conformance test suite, etc)

Can you add some examples of the things users care about that aren't well covered by this? I empathize with everyone who wants a feature comparison chart so they can be confident switching without unknowingly losing important safety checks.
