I thought it was! Didn’t even second guess it.

However with Vim she won’t know how to quit.

I prefer type inference. It’s extra clutter that can often be abstracted away with good variable and method names. If it quacks the way I need it then that’s one less thing I need to hold context of in my head.

What is the type of the variable day though? As it is we have to make multiple assumptions, based on popular programming languages, about the internals of the string type and the print function to assume that it prints “6”.

This is what I do, too. Good for programming languages. Not always applicable for frameworks.

Vendors don’t always update hardware drivers for other versions of those proprietary operating systems. Linux doesn’t depend on vendors directly for updated drivers. Now I can use my old hardware without being stuck on an old OS version.
