Regarding the ongoing auto/var readability issues debate, how about the popular dynamic languages that often do not even have the means of specifying a type? They surely must be suffering from huge readability issues?
- flohofwoe 7y agoSuch languages (e.g. python) serve a different purpose, at least in my opinion. Using python as scripting language for small "adhoc automation" things is great. For long-living and bigger code bases, worked on by teams, explicit types and "proper" static type system are the better choice. E.g. it's less about readability, but maintainability.
- richardwhiuk 7y agoI find using Python libraries where the documentation doesn't tell me anything about the return type a hugely frustrating experience.
