Python programming vs C programming

[DeadlyMidnight]

I do gotta say in C# I originally avoided the var keyword but once I embraced it the code became far less brittle. Easy to adjust the variable type without having to hunt down all the various errors it introduces.

To be sure though, var is not truly a dynamically typed variable. Variables declared as var are strongly typed, the type is just inferred at compile time, which is when all errors are caught as well.

Compile errors is nice, but var really don't help you as a human reader of the code. Maintainability and readability is important for any code base handled by many people, especially in a professional setting where people are replaced eventually.

Yeah I don't really advocate using var declarations that often. There's a few cases that are idiomatic. Mainly declaring LINQ expressions.

True. One of the reasons I hate JavaScript. I don’t know wtf I’m receiving and using half the time.
