    I came from a cpp background and loved it the moment I saw it. Like, you mean I just go var foo = ... and then I can put anything? No type casting?? No types??? Finally, I was free.

    But I’ve always been more of a hacker than a real programmer. I’ve since learned that there are advantages to using types, static checking, etc…

      Don’t ever come to me saying “finally I am free from types” very few things make me angry. Rejecting types is one of them.

      Also its let foo and const foo depending on how you plan to use the variable…
