- azhenley 7y agoRunning experiments would give us data on whether it is personal or not, and to what degree. I know a lot of teams that conduct code reviews outside of the IDE, so your suggestion wouldn’t help those cases.
- insertnickname 7y agoIntelliJ shows hints for inferred types.
- Quekid5 7y agoAs a data point: I use Scala + IntelliJ and I've personally actually turned this off. If you have a half-way decent type system I tend to find that it just gets in the way -- at least if things have reasonable names. (This is obviously a very personal preference and depends on whether it's a code base you're already familiar with, etc. etc.)
