### Just Modern Python { #just-modern-python }

It's all based on standard **Python type** declarations (thanks to Pydantic). No new syntax to learn. Just standard modern Python.

If you need a 2 minute refresher of how to use Python types (even if you don't use FastAPI), check the short tutorial: [Python Types](python-types.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

You write standard Python with types:

```Python

    private static final int DEFAULT_MAX_POOL_SIZE = 100;
    private static final int DEFAULT_MAX_IDLE_TIME = 300000; // 5 minutes in ms
    private static final int DEFAULT_HEALTH_CHECK_INTERVAL = 60000; // 1 minute in ms
    private static final int DEFAULT_PROACTIVE_CHECK_INTERVAL = 30000; // 30 seconds in ms
    private int maxPoolSize = DEFAULT_MAX_POOL_SIZE;
    private int maxIdleTime = DEFAULT_MAX_IDLE_TIME;
