A lot of science/engineering/ML/data analysis happens from hacking around with only a vague idea of what to expect. Appeasing a type checker simultaneously is an enormous blow to productivity. Obviously possible, but challenging to get into a flow state when you cannot quickly iterate on ideas.
- lnxg33k1 3y agoI mean you can still hold data in hashmaps no? Or even serde::Value(s)? Its not that everything has to be a type
