Now, this is an exciting development of tooling. This could bootstrap next generation of tools that would make huge increase in software complexity actually manageable.
I like that it shows you code examples (I use GitHub code search a lot). Another idea would be to automatically show you the code of function you are calling, so you can quickly verify your assumptions (sync/async, error handling, return values).
I don't do much Python nowadays, but I'm very excited about Kite.
I do a lot of Python and all I can say is wow, it's so handy. It's way better than any other hovering UI suggestion/completion plugins I've used. If it supports type hinting in Python then you could get arg types, return values, etc.
They plan on adding more languages I believe so keep an eye out for yours.
I really like the way it displays the documentation/suggestions. I would much rather have that than the floating boxes i see in VSCode right now, does anyone know if it's possible to get this layout style via plugins?

Thesis-2: A truly clever company would tell you to use this on a language you've never used before in an interview hahaha
