> you still have to look through the code to find the definition of an object I haven't done this in the last 10 years. I typically use IDEs, and every IDE I've used has had a "Go To Definition/Declaration" feature, and let you set a key binding for it. On JetBrains' IDEs, I've gotten quite used to pressing Ctrl+B to jump to a type definition's, and then pressing Alt+← to jump back to where I was originally in the code.

  You can go to the definition, but the definition might just be foo.bar(). Whereas in a statically typed language the IDE can always tell you what the type is (you shouldn't even need to jump to the declaration/definition, you should be able to mouseover or hit a hotkey to just get the type without leaving the line you're on)

  "working just fine". No, not even close to the same level.
