Jared's Intro to Types Experience
- Jared Forsyth was initially scared off by Java and C++ types from an intro class.
- He later found inferred types in Flow, TypeScript, and Reason refreshing and less verbose.
Types Reshape Code Design
- Explicit type systems reshape how you design and understand code organization.
- Types help process and maintain code better than just catching bugs.
Types Tame JavaScript's Dynamism
- Without types, JavaScript objects often become unpredictable with random properties.
- Type checkers help teams and codebases stay maintainable by enforcing structure.
