especially since the tooling is never food enough, and/or a nightmare to set up and maintain. 

because the types are far too hidden. 

and because the inference has no interactive debugger.

Inference is very convenient when you have different assumptions at different places in code, and you want to determine whether those assumptions are all compatible before running it.

But it seems difficult to explain discovered incompatibilities in a way most users can grok. Perhaps we should be telling a story with a generated example instead of trying to describe internal types.
