>I programmed in typed languages for many years and when I find myself back in an old-school IDE for a typed language like Eclipse or Visual Studio a cognitive load is lifted off my shoulders. Are you sure this is true for everyone? I learned programming through Java, doing about 6 months of it in an IDE. But I have now been programming in pretty much pure JS with no ide (just vim) for a much longer time and I feel a big cognitive burden when I go back to heavy IDE's. I think our minds change over time and become used to whatever we're programming in.
