Yep, indeed. Most of my head scratch moments with big code bases aren't about anything as technical as types. It's not as if knowing the types would have made me realize what the code actually does, which is the main hurdle.
- magicalhippo 6y agoIn my experience, static types allows me to ignore a lot of code, which helps dealing with large codebases. Sure it won't do magic with 1MLOC of spaghetti code, but in a reasonably sane codebase it makes it much easier to know which parts to care about and which you can ignore for the time being. Again, that's my experience at least.
