Re:Moving from TypeScript to Rust / WebAssembly by wing-_-nuts on Thursday July 09, 2020 @12:38PM (#23782009)
When I was first learning java I loathed the verbosity, but I was coding everything in vi. Now days with good ides, I don't mind java's verbosity or even the boiler plate.

I find myself more annoyed by dynamic languages, because the tooling just isn't at the same level. All sorts of 'hints' that I rely on in java simply aren't there in other languages, and the ide throws up it's hands and is like '...? I guess this is right? Godspeed sir', and I wind up having to go lookup documentation rather than ctrl clicking into underlying functions and code. It's really annoying, and it's made me be more appreciative of staticly typed languages.
