    Type inference is a pretty big thing in TypeScript as well though. In fact it’s probably the biggest thing about it, IMO.

      I don’t know typescript. But if that’s the case, this meme doesn’t make much sense.

      Who writes the types of variables in a language with type inference unless forced by the compiler?

        Maybe it’s a language without type interference?

        Either way, it sometimes makes sense in TypeScript to help the type system out a little bit.

        let array: string[] = [];
        

        In this situation, the type system can’t infer that the empty array should be a string array, because there are no items to go by.
