@dozzie, I don't think static typing does make it easier to read, it makes it more verbose.

- catnaroek 10y agoAre you confusing “static typing” with “type annotations”? You can write large swathes of statically typed code without a single type annotation, in languages with proper type inference. This is 70's-era technology, mind you.
- 2T1Qka0rEiPr 10y agoYou're right, I'm conflating the two, though I appreciate that one doesn't require the other.
