It’s really weird to me to base any decisions around how much typing you have to do.
Typing is such a small part of programming I really don’t get it.
Typing is a huge part of programming. Have you heard of RSI? People invest hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars in ergonomic keyboards just to overcome RSI pain. If you’re younger than 30 you might not be impacted by this, but many people who have been typing every day for over a decade are realizing it’s not sustainable without proper ergonomics.
Readability and maintainability are core imo.
I don’t think you sacrifice these by having local type inference. It’s never been an obstacle for me.
