- magicalhippo 3y agoFor me, a huge part of it is that I find static typing to make the code a lot more self-documenting. I can easily see what is passes or returned, and if I'm unsure about the details of the type the answer is a click away, or a short web search away at worst. Significantly reduces my mental load, allowing me to be vastly more productive.
