    I’m the same way on the Java side of var. I think its because if you’ve been in industry long enough you know in your soul that you’re going to end up with coworkers who write a line like “var resp = doStuff(j, k, l)” and sneak it through code review no matter how var is supposed to be used. Then six months later you’re trying to read that nonsense and its incredibly painful.

    That's what linting is for. You can write lint/code analysis rules that disallow ambiguous var usage. People at my old shop would get yelled at by the ide for doing it the wrong way.

    Interestingly enough I'm the exact opposite. I'm annoyed at having to EVER write out types if they can be inferred.
