      It’s also valid rust syntax.

      But if it were rust, this meme would not make sense, since you would just type let a and type inference would do its thing. Which is much more ergonomic.

        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.
