i think not having types be explicit but be invisibly inferred is very bad DX in anything other than extreme short term.

Do you mean all variables being explicitly typed? That would be way too much typing.

let foo = someRandomFunction();

As long as I can hover over and use code completion, I'm good.

just too many dx failure modes. i've been in too many situations where the dev environment doesn't know / is misconfigured/ is bleedin hard to ever configure right. let alone all the times i need to mess with the code outside an ide.
