> languages like C/C++ where types become a chore
It's been a long while since I used those languages, but I remember the chore part wasn't so much of typing Int or String and more so having to care if it's an Int, Short, or Long or if the float is single or double precision. I believe that those micro-optimizations are no longer popular, but manually thinking low-level is not something I enjoy.
