Things I Was Wrong About: Types
I which there was a little more elaboration on _why_ he originally disliked types so much. This perspective is still very strange to me, as the value of types seems self-evident for systems more complex than a script, and I&#x27;d like to understand it better. As it stands now, my only assumption is that this comes from the place the author is coming from: people who don&#x27;t think types are useful are generally coming from a place of ignorance.<p>This feels facile and self-serving though (&quot;people who disagree with me don&#x27;t know what they&#x27;re talking about&quot;), so it&#x27;s more likely that I have a blind spot. Are there any current or former type-haters that can help shed light on their perspective?<p>EDIT: I should note that my production experience is primarily with (modern)C++ and Python, so I don&#x27;t even have the benefit of more modern static typing systems like Rust&#x27;s.
