    I used Python almost exclusively before I learned Rust and inevitably became a full time Rust bro, and the answer is “slowly and with a lot of crashes” :P

    anyway, as I said in another comment, I’m not talking about static vs dynamic typing, I’m talking about static typing with vs without a compiler that can do type inference. C++'s auto will default to floats if you don’t tell it the type of a number which is pretty brain dead, and there are scenarios where it’s helpful to write out a type that could be inferred for readability/guaranteed correctness’s sake, but apart from that I can’t think why having most of your types be implicit would be bad
